Implications for Employers and Payroll Teams
Use These Benchmarks for Salary Planning

Reassess Compensation Strategy
With wages rising, employers should review their salary structures, allowances, bonuses, and overall payroll budgets to remain competitive in the local labor market.
Compare Across Business Types and Industries
