I'm pleased to welcome you to "Compensation.BLR.com" – the cornerstone of our mission to make 50-state compensation planning and administration easier – 24/7.

In developing this site, we have dramatically improved your ability to cost effectively research and stay current with compensation, salary and benefits benchmark and legal developments nationally and in any state of interest. We've made our in-depth summaries of Dept. of Labor and state regulatory requirements, written by our staff of employment law attorneys, covering more than 50 major compensation topics, searchable and convenient. Checklists, daily news, best practices reports, handy excel calculators… all these are at your fingertips -- accessible anytime and anywhere -- all you need is a browser. Some of the information is free, but to obtain the full benefits of the site, you'll need to subscribe and obtain a password.

Our goal is to provide you with the most comprehensive, state-specific compensation management and compliance information on the Web.

Valuable resources available to site subscribers include:
