TLOMA Associate, Business Services and Total Rewards Surveys

The 2018 Surveys are still available for purchase!  The 2019 Survey participation templates will be available in the spring of 2019!

Over the last 30 years, our surveys have been established as the primary source of compensation bench-marking information for the Canadian legal community.  With over 60 organizations participating; representing all firm sizes and practice specializations, the reports help users make good strategic business decisions while attracting and retaining top talent.

One of the many advantages of being a member of TLOMA is the ability to participate in the annual Business Services and Associate Compensation Surveys. 

Total Rewards Survey
Every three (3) years your Compensation Committee publishes this survey which provides valuable information on topics such as, but not limited to:

*PEL = Personal Emergency Leave
2018 was a Total Rewards Survey (TTR) year!

TLOMA Business Services Survey
This survey was previously known as the TLOMA Compensation Survey.  The name was changed in 2018 to better represent the positions captured in the survey such as Support levels (Legal and Administrative Assistants, Records Management, Facilities roles etc.), Management and Law Clerk positions.

TLOMA Associate Compensation Survey
This survey was separated as a stand-alone survey in 2017.  It provides information on Associate salary and bonus data based on Year of Call as well as compensation data at the junior, intermediate and senior levels.  The data is also available by practice areas such as Litigation and Corporate.

Highlight of Survey Features

The TLOMA Business Services Survey, TLOMA Associate Compensation Survey and the Total Rewards Survey are specific to law firms and have been developed to provide answers to our membership’s compensation questions. The surveys use a Job Family and Career Level methodology, and provide the ability to:

• Easily benchmark the compensation of your business services, associate and student positions with other firms of similar size;
• Assist in managing internal pay equity for those firms that do not have a formal job evaluation/grading system;
• Clear depiction of the established total reward trends in the market;
• There is a Geographic break out of data available for provinces across Canada; and
• All surveys are easily completed in a user friendly format. The surveys are available in electronic format and can be purchased for a rate much less than industry standard.Moreover, the cost of the surveys, to you, is based on the size of your law firm.
  
  60+ law firms compensation results were published in the 2018 edition.
