BETHESDA, Md. – The 2008 edition of the Employee Compensation Survey, published by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), is now available. This distributors-only survey serves as a guide to understanding compensation, incentive and benefit levels in aftermarket distribution.

The 190-page, two-volume report contains information on both executive and employee compensation, including salaries, bonuses, commission, perks and benefits from AAIA and cross-industry firms. Breakouts for 20 different sales volume categories and more than 100 specific geographic areas are profiled.

"The survey will allow a Denver firm, for example, to compare its compensation package with other firms in the same market," said Kathleen Schmatz, AAIA president and CEO. "Similarly, firms interested in expanding their geographic coverage can compare wage rates in their existing markets to rates paid in territories they are considering."

The 2008 Employee Compensation Survey is available for $125 for AAIA members and $250 for non-members.
