Data In This Publication

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs began collecting wage and salary data in 1987, providing key reference information for state and local elected officials, administrators, and citizens. This publication is a compilation of data collected from the 1996 County Wage and Salary Survey, administered by the Office oflnformation Services (OIS), Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
Separate publications are available in county and municipal government editions for 1996 wage and salary data covering four key areas oflocal government employment: administrative and general, public safety, public works, and solid waste. Each publication contains appendices summarizing fringe benefits and listing the jurisdictions responding to the 1996 County Wage and Salary Survey. For data on elected officials' salaries, please call OIS at (404) 679-4950. We would like to thank those local officials and staff whose participation made this publication possible.
This publication includes data on wages and salaries for county government public safety employees as of October 1, 1996. Wage and salary data are collected and reported for full-time positions only. For the purposes of this report, full-time employment is 35 hours or more per week. The survey asks governments to report the number of employees in each position listed. In cases where positions exist, but are vacant, a "0" is entered in the "Number of full-time employees" column. Where a local government has not reported a data element, "NR" appears.
The survey requests the entry level and maximum wage on either an hourly or annual basis. If hourly figures were reported, we convert that information to an annual salary based on the number of weekly hours reported. We assumed a 40-hour work week when a government did not report hours. If a government did not have a pay scale or salary range, the respondent was instructed to enter the actual salary paid to an incumbent as both the minimum and maximum rates.
For public safety positions only, governments were asked to enter a yes or no response to whether the Fair Labor Standards Act 7(k) exemption is used. The 7(k) exemption allows public agencies to balance hours over an entire work period and establishes a higher number of weekly non-overtime
hours than is otherwise applicable. Ifa government uses this exemption, the actual number ofhours
worked on these alternative work periods will be displayed in this report. (This amount is usually more than 40 hours.) The salary reported is the actual salary paid and has not been annualized.

Job Desatpdons
Population Groups

Job descriptions for positions included in this report are arranged in alphabetical order following this Introduction. We asked respondents to provide information for those jobs with duties most closely matching the job descriptions if their government uses a different job title for a position.
Six population groups aid comparison of detailed and summary data on jurisdictions of similar size. The report presents summaries ofdata for each job title using these population groups. Population group ranges used throughout this report and in the table are based on 1994 Census Bureau population estimates. The table reflects both the number of jurisdictions in each group and the number of jurisdictions responding to the 1996 survey.
