Gentlemen:
Having finished its study for the year, the State Commission on Compensation does herewith file its annual report as required by law (Georgia Laws 1971, pages 105-106).
FINDINGS
The State of the Economy
State revenues are conring in at an accelerated pace. unemployment is falling and inflation has been tamed to a ra~ge of 3 to 4 percent. Indeed, this is a bright economic picture!

t
Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #2
Currently the economy is "cooling", and experts are at a loss to knqw whether this is but a temporary lull or the beginning of something more serious. In any event, the rapid growth rate of previous ~ers, (in the 7 to 10 percent range) was too great to last. Many have welcomed this "cooling" because it has eased the pressure on interest rates. Most observers see a national growth rate for the next year in the 3.5 percent range, but past experience suggests that Georgia may exceed that.
With revenues up and inflation in check, this is a good time for the General Assembly to address salaries for all our state officials. Indeed, there have not been more favorable circumstances in the past 15 years for corrective action.
Most commentators are expecting inflation to rise a bit in the corning year, maybe to the 4.5 percent level, but this is conjecture. There is no clear evidence that this is going to happen.
Outlook For Salaries
In the private sectors of industry and commerce we hear that 6 percent is a normal wage increase this year. In the Federal Government we are apt to see an increase in the range of 3~ to 4 percent effective probably the beginning of 1985.
The Adequacy of Base Salaries
Generally speaking, the year 1984 has been one of progress in the administration of salaries for those under the jurisdiction of the State Commission on Compensation. Let us briefly review the situation by eachof the three branches of government--judicial, executive and legislative--because the picture varies in each

.,------~

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #3
Judicial Branch
A major deficiency from 1983, the inadequacy of judicial compensation, was addressed by the General Assembly this year. Legislators provided appreciable increases for our judges; nevertheless, we still lag behind Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. (Exhibit I in Appendix) All of the states are in a salary up-grading program. This alone suggests that additional action may be needed in Georgia.
Not only are we falling below many of our sister states, but there are also other indications that additional salary steps are needed:
1. The cost of relocating someone to Atlanta inhibits Superior Court judges and practicing attorneys from accepting appointments to an appellate court in our State. (The appellate courts are located in Atlanta, of course.) Moving expense and the higher cost-of-living in Atlanta are negative factors of importance.
2. The present pay levels in the appellate courts do not seem attractive at all when matched against the tremendous work load. Judges in our appellate courts, especially the Court of Appeals, are overworked with cases.
There are means to add more judges in the Superior Courts when the work load becomes excessive, but such relief does not exist for the appellate courts.
3. General legislation is needed in our state government to permit the payment of local supplements to Superior Court judges and district attorneys. Presently, thirty percent of our judges and seventy percent of our district attorneys get no supplements. It is too difficult as matters stand now to initiate changes or to inaugurate new payments by the "local" bill route--which is the way it is done. Passing a special bill in each case proves to be very cumbersome. Partly for this reason, wide variance around the state now exists in the level of such supplements.
4. Pay scales for judges and prosecuting attorneys in the federal service are much higher than those in our state courts--a factor this Commission is required by law to consider. Compensation in Georgia runs from $12,000 to $30,000 below comparable positions in the federal judiciary. (Exhibit II in Appendix)
5. The earnings potential for members of our judicial group falls much below that which is possible in private law firms and corporate law departments--matters we must consider.

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page # 4
These are important alternatives. We lose judges to law firms, and we must attract successful attorneys away from private practice to serve in Georgia courts.
Many of our judges work and live in Atlanta, and they are keenly aware of the earnings alternatives here. For partners in law firms and in the senior rungs of corporate law departments we believe the earnings potential is some $30,000 to $50,000 more than is paid our judges and district attorneys.
In summary, while distinct progress has been made in compensating our judicial group, additional assistance is warranted.
Executive Branch
Across the Nation we find "catchup" salary measures being taken in state after state to a degree not seen in the past dozen years. Specifically, we find an average salary boost this year for statehouse officials to be in the neighborhood of ten percent in a year when inflation is running only about three percent or four percent.
Few people realize how far salaries for executive branch office holders have lagged behing the national trend since 1967. This lag has been true both in our state and others as well. In Georgia we find that in "real" terms our officials get only about sixty-seven percent as much as they did seventeen years ago. What our officials have suffered is not true for citizens generally. Bureau of Labor Statistics Surveys show that since 1967 pay scales in the private sector have increased equally with the cost-of-living.
We ~otewith large satisfaction that the General Assembly has provided significant increases for our officials over the past two years. By one measure, namely comparison with salaries paid in other states, we now look quite good. But this does not mean a lot. Rarely ever would one of our officials go to another sta~e to take a similar job, nor do we attract top people from the other states. The real alternative is the federal government and the private sector, especially the Atlanta world of business.

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #5
When other yardsticks are used--yardsticks which this Commission is required by law to consider--we find the salaries paid to our people to be unduly low. More specifically, what we pay is considerably below that which prevails in the federal government and in the private sectors.
Turning attention now to those holding high administrative positions in the federal service we find our salaries to be some $17,000 to $20,000 below the federal level for comparable positions. And, in comparison with the private business sectors, pay scales in Georgia government are indeed low for those who head important agencies. It is hard to state briefly how great the differential is because pay levels in manufacturing, commerce, and banking vary so widely. Taking a general view one can say that salaries for our top people in Georgia government run about 50-60 percent of what they might expect to receive in private enterprise. (Exhibit III in Appendix) In the case of the Governor the contrast is much greater. Those heading huge organizations of a scale comparable to the State of Georgia would be paid three to four times as much as our Governor. (Actually the differential is greater than this because the Governor gets no bonuses or stock options.)
Inequities Within Georgia State Government
Closer to home we find that there are major inequities in the pay levels for officials within our state government which must be addressed.
1. Salaries for those who head agencies where the amounts are set by boards/authorities are substantially above those set by statute (and under the jurisdiction of the State Commission on Compensation). The differential is generally about $6000, but in some cases it is $25,000 or more. This is a problem of critical importance causing much ill will. Higher amounts paid by the boards cannot be justified by scale of operation, complexity of responsibility,

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #6

work load or importance to the State. We do not claim that the boards are extravagant. Rather, they approach the question of compensation differently, paying more heed to compensation levels outside state government.

Examples of Current Salaries for Head Persons Set by Boards:

University System World Congress Center Department of Transportation Ports Authority Herty Foundation Human Resources Ga. Bureau of Investigation Natural Resources Public Safety Industry and Trade Stone Mountain Park Residential Finance Authority

$92,400* 83,200 82,500 79,000 68,500 67,800 60,320 60,320 60,320 60,318 60,000 60,000

*Plus $4,500 subsistence and a residence

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #7
If the disparity in salary levels is not corrected we will likely see efforts in some departments to establish boards which will be empowered to set salaries for top persons. Be assured that the result of this would be higher compensation for the chiefs.
The Governor is aware of this problem, and we believe that he is exerting influence to bring about more uniformity in compensation. We applaud this courageous action on his part. However, some regularized or "institutionalized" means are needed to achieve the desired end. Presently, we have too many pay masters! Some salaries are set by statute, some by the Governor, some by boards/ authorities, and some by the Merit System.
We cannot expect our Governor to cope with this problem, case by case, year by year. In the end Georgia may find it wise to follow the example of the federal government which classifies its executive branch officials into five levels.
2. &Uaries in the Univeristy System for jobs of comparable scale, responsibility and importance to the State far exceed those paid to our statehouse officials. We have found 907 people in the Univeristy System now who are paid more than is received by typical statehouse officials such as Secretary of State, or Commissioner of Revenue.
Specifically, one finds numerous "deans" and "academic directors" at Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia who are paid in the range of $80,000 to $85,000. At Georgia State the range is a little lower, generally $75,000 to $82,700 (yet one dean gets $97,525). In contrast, for heads of huge state agencies under the jurisdiction of the Commission (agencies like the Departments of Labor, Revenue, Education, Prisons and Administrative Services), each with employees numbering in excess of one thousand, the pay scale runs between $53,972 and $60,136.
3. The larger increases awarded by the boards in 1984 have created problems in the rest of state government. While we applaud the General Assembly for granting a four percent cost-of-living adjustment effective last July 1 for statehouse officials under the jurisdiction of this Commission, we find that the boards gave, on the average, larger increases to their top people. Indeed the average increase for them was in excess of nine percent! (Exhibit IV in Appendix)

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #8
It is no wonder that officials whose salaries fall under our jurisdiction feel there is something wrong in the attangement of things. Not only are their salaries considerably below the others, but their cost-of-living adjustment was less than half of that under the boards.
4. Case by case comparisons show other inequities in the state's pay scale. It is not often we can make clear comparisons between jobs of our statehouse officials and those in other sectors but sometimes we can.
(a) State School Superintendent ($57,337)*
Fifteen superintendents of local school systems in Georgia today receive more money than is paid for the office of the State School Superintendent. For example, the Atlanta City School System pays its Superintendent $18,463 more. ($74,800)
Next, compare the office of the Chancellor of the University System and the State School Superintendent. Including housing and an expense allowance the Chancellor is compensated in excess of $100,000. None of the fringe items the Chancellor gets are given to the Superintendent.
Why should the State Superintendent get so much less than the Chancellor and other Superintendents? No one has a bigger, more demanding or more responsible position than the Superintendent.
(b) Commissioner of Agriculture ($53,972)
This official's job may be compared with the Dean who runs the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia. In truth our Commissioner's salary would fall in the lower rungs on the Dean's staff! His salary falls $26,528 below that of the Dean. Indeed, the Director of the Experiment Station is paid $24,928 more than he gets.
Yet the Commissioner of Agriculture has extensive responsibilities and broad legal authority affecting not only all of Georgia Agriculture but also all of our consumers as well. The programs of this department affect every citizen in Georgia almost daily in very important ways.
*Plus 8% factor in lieu of pension pickup. Does not adhere to office; successor will not get it.

Report of State Commission on Compensation Paqe #9
Further, Commissioner Irvin is a member of some governing boards of state agencies which pay more to their heads than he makes. For example, ~ compensation of the head man of the Stone Mountain Authority is $60,000, some $6,000 more than the Commissioner is paid.
(c) State Auditor ($50,078)*
In effect, this official runs a huge auditing firm. Yet the salary of his office is some $20,000 less than is paid certain teachers of accounting in our state University System. Numerous professors and department heads in the University System are paid in the range of $65,000 to $75,000. Many deans and directors are paid in the range of $75,000 to $85,000.
Yet, the State Auditor has responsibilities which exceed those for any professor of accounting in our State. (See Exhibit V) His assignment under the law is staggering! The function of this office is vital to every agency of state government and to many local agencies as well. By any realistic comparison with what is paid in the University System or in the private sectors this office is surely underpaid by $25,000 or more.
(d) Commissioner of Banking and Finance ($53,972)
For this office there are close counterparts in the federal government. The heads of the regional offices in Atlanta of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Controller of the Currency (agencies which inspect and regulate banks) make $67,000. In addition, they can earn $15,000 in bonuses for good performance. What both of these officials do is very similar to the role of our Commissioner of Banking and Finance, namely to examine banks to make sure that they are being run in a sound manner. Presently our Commissioner pays one of his staff significantly more than he makes himself!
In conclusion, although significant forward steps have been taken in recent years to bring salaries for executive branch officials under the jurisdiction of this Commission to equitable levels, the task is not finished. Significant problems remain which must be addressed.
*Plus 8% factor in lieu of pension pickup

Report of State Commission on Compensation Page #10
Legislative Branch The group most deserving of a substantial salary increase in our state government, namely the legislators themselves, were passed over again this year. By any logical indicator the current compensation of $7,200 is too low. !1embers of our General Assembly are paid less that half of the national average. (Exhibit VI in Appendix) They are surely the most underpaid officials in our state government toady. In truth, one must have substantial income from outside sources in order to serve in the General Assembly. Hany legislators find that they cannot afford to continue in this role indefinitely.
We are aware that it is a delicate matter, politically speaking, to raise legislative pay. Yet we feel it is our duty to recommend what is right, and we find the present rate (set back in 1972) is unreasonably inadequate.

THE SALARIES OF GEORGIA OFFICIALS OVER THE PAST DECADE IN RELATION TO THE NATIONAL TREND
Supposing the salaries of those officials under the jurisdiction of the State Commission on Compensation had increased since 1967 at the same rate as the average for professional, administrative and technical personnel? The increases for these three groups have been of such magnitude that by March 1984 they would be 3.1953 times their level in March 1967.* (For the actual increases year by year, see page 87 of this report.) Average increase for the interval was 7.07 percent -- compound interest rate. If our Georgia officials had had annual increases of this magnitude their salaries would be considerably higher today than is actually the case. See the middle column of the table. on the page immediately following for the actual figures.
*The annual surveys by the BLS appear in bulletins entitled: National Survey of Professional, Administrative, Technical and Clerical Pay. These reports are issued each March.

$3,640; 1984-$3,785; 1985-$3,936.
About the 8 percent factor:
Until 1980, most state employees and officials paid 5.5 percent of their salary into a state retirement system. Beginning July 1980 the state began paying all but .5 percent of this amount, thus giving that person a 5 percent increase in take-home pay. In contrast, thos getting the 8 percent factor were long-term members of the retiremen system who were not required to make contributions and, therefore, d not receive the 5 percent increase in take-home pay. In lieu thereo the incumbents were granted an 8 percent increase in gross salary which was considered to be rougly equivalent to a 5 percent increase in take-home pay. Therefore, the salary for these officials is 8 percent higher than.the official salary shown for the position. Any new person will receive the salary indicated in the above table sincE the 8 percent factor does not adhere to the office.

The reason two columns for salaries are shown for this office is that the term "Comptroller" refers to widely different offices among the 50 states. Actually, what our Comptroller General in Georgia does is closer to that of an Insurance Commissioner than what Comptrollers do in other states. There is probably no other state in the Union in which the regulation of the insurance business is assigned to the office of a comptroller. In New York the Comptroller audits insurance agencies but has no regulatory power over them.
We generally think of a "Comptroller" (Controller) as one who plays a key role in financial administration of the organization as a whole. Typically, he does not manage an operating department but rather is a central figure in developing operating budgets for all departments. After the adoption of final budgets he plays a watchdog role over each department's spending to make sure that budgets are not being overspent; that money is not going for frivolous purposes; that expenditures are in compliance with the law and established procedures. In the state government of Georgia this function is performed chiefly by the Office of Planning and Budget.
However, the Comptroller in Georgia does have financial duties to perform. He determines that appropriated state funds are paid and deposited with the general fund; he determines that expenditures do not exceed the sum provided by law; he signs all warrants drawing funds from the general fund; he maintains a record of all taxes and funds collected by the state; and he keeps records on file concerning all of the above. This function, however, does not require a large amount of manpower.
In a number of other states the Comptroller does the work assigned in Georgia to the State Auditor (the post-audit function). In Mississippi the Comptroller heads the regulation function for their state banks. Thus, we find that the term "Comptroller" in state government does not tell us much about what the official actually does.
In Georgia's past history the Comptroller was the state's tax collector, but that was changed many years ago. Today our Comptroller has three main duties in terms of manpower and budget:
1- The regulation of the insurance industry.
2- The regulation of the small loan companies.
3- State Fire Marshall.
Since the regulation of the insurance industry is but one of the activities under his responsibility it seems fitting that the salary of our Comptroller should exceed that of the typical insurance commissioner. Furthermore, our Comptroller must serve on 14 different boards and commissions of our state government.

COMMISSIONER OF OFFENDER REHABILITATION
($53,972)

STATE BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES ($50,727)

Unlike Georgia, in most states the function of the Pardons and Paroles is a division of a larger entity, usually a Department of Corrections (State Prison System). In Georgia, however, the Board is an independent agency having constitutional status. The task of the board members is particularly large, due substantially to the fact that Georgia has a huge prison population. We rank eighth in the nation in the number of inmates and second on a per capita basis! The Board has extensive powers and general authority. In 1978 it made almost 17,000 decisions affecting inmate cases. In fiscal year 1979 the board members themselves interviewed more than 1,000 inmates, and the staff of the department 5,000 or more.
Below is salary information from our own survey conducted in July 1984, showing salaries in other states where the function is embraced in an independent agency.

SECRETARY OF STATE ($53,972)

COMMISSIONER OF VETERANS SERVICE
($50,079)*
It is very difficult to make meaningful comparisons with other states wherr considering our office, th~ Commissioner of the Department of Veterans Service. In a majority of states the programs are spread among various other departments, and the agency itself is a division within a larger "administrative entity.
In approximately 20 states there is an independent agency concerned with veterans services; yet, few are comparable in program extent with the department in Georgia. There are "about 12 states where the services are embraced in an independent agency and which are headed by an official carrying a title comparable to our own. Of the 12, only two (Illinois an.d Oklahoma) have the same activities as the Georgia office. Of the remaining ten, five operate "veterans homes but not the educational assistance programs. Five administer the educational programs but not the veterans homes.
Following are salaries in other states for those heading up the program for veterans where the activity is embraced in an independent agency. (Data from our own survey, July 1984.)

Federal Government
Salaries

FEDERAL SALARIES
The salary situation for the highest officials in our Federal government is confused in that there is a large gap between what is "authorized" (scheduled) and what is legally "payable." However, due to legal action taken by Members of the Federal Judiciary, culminating in a U. S. Supreme Court decision in December 1980, the gap for judges has been closed. Following is the background.
In February 1977 substantial salary increases were put into effect for Federal officials in all three branches of government.

Under existing Federal law, annual increases (akin to cost-ofliving adjustments, but not actually such) are authorized. However, by a series of appropriations bills in late 1977 and to the present moment Congress has effectually denied such increases from taking place, except that in January 1982 small increases were provided for Executive Levels III, IV and V. If monies were made available, most officials would get the "authorized" salaries, amounting to more than a 20 percent increase. Realistically, this is not going to happen. Significant increases were put into effect in 1983 but not nearly as much as the "authorized" ones. In 1984 it is unclear what will happen. However, as stated above, the Federal judges were successful in their legal action to bring the "payable" up to the "authorized." They held that denying them their increases was unconstitutional, amounting to a reduction of pay while in office. It seems that for a very brief period a couple of years ago the authorized schedule was in effect, and it was nullified by a subsequent appropriations bill. However, beyond that specific action, it seems agreed now that the judges must get the full authorized salary schedule presently and in the future.
The General Schedule (Civil Service) Effective January 1, 1984 a pay increase of 3.5 percent went into effect for. all Federal employees covered under the General Schedule (commonly called the Civil Service). Probably in October 1984 or January 1985 there will be another increase of about 3! to 4 percent.

SALARIES FOR TOP MANAGERS
When we speak of compensation levels for managerial and professional personnel in the private sector, it is important to note at the outset that the picture is complex. First, there are three distinct strands in compensation, namely: (1) salary, (2) bonus, and (3) long-term income (chiefly, various types of stock-option plans). Thus, it is necessary to know which are included when we speak of managerial compensation.
Next, note that when comparing the salaries of executives from one year to another there' are three different ways to look at it: (1) average salary increase, (2) average salary increase, all managers, and (3) increase in average salary levels. (See page '.67 for facts and definitions on these three concepts.) Each one is valid, yet they are not the same in magnitude.
Thirdly, executive salaries differ widely for people with the same title and general responsibilities depending on the size of enterprise. Yet all are truly top level executives.
Fourthly, salaries vary by type of industry. For example, salaries are lower for top management in the public' utilities than is true in manufacturing.
Also, salaries for business managers vary somewhat by the region of the nation in which they are located. In the Southeast they are about 7 percent below the national average.
Finally, salaries for managers vary according to the function performed by the individual and the level of authority at which he functions. Yet all clearly fall in the "managerial" category.
In the following pages, all of these factors will be treated, and their significance will be made clear in a factual manner. All information and quoted sentences are drawn from the most recent survey of executive compensation performed by Sibson and Company.*
The Picture for Salaries and Bonuses
* "Salary increases dipped to their lowest levels in five years in 1983 as compan-
ies reacted to the dramatically lower inflation rates and generally poor economic conditions. Salary levels for individuals who remained at the same company in 1982 and 1983 increased 7.4 percent in 1983, compared to the 1982 increase of 10.9 percent. Increases for 1984 are expected to be even lower.
*Sibson & Company, Inc., NINETEENTH ANNUAL STUDY OF EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION, PREPARED FOR 1984; (Factual data from 1983). Quoted material from PageS 2,3, and 7.

,. From 1979 to 1982, high inflation drove salary change rates to previously unthinkable levels. At such high rates, even mediocre performance appeared to be recognized with significant salary adjustments that allowed incumbents to remain "whole" with inflation. The return to low inflation levels coupled with an increased cost-consciousness has caused companies to critically examine the rationale behind salary increases and to realistically appraise the performance of individuals eligible to receive an increase.
"A common complaint about executives is that they are paid too much for
doing too little. But executive pay levels can be justified with two principal arguments: First, salary size usually is determined by the competitive market and by company size. Second, incentives - bonuses - are linked to company performance; when companies do well, the people running them get paid well.
" In the five years ending in 1982, however, the second argument lost some of its steam. Those years were characterized overall by high rates of inflation and marginally acceptable company results. Executives, though, still received what appeared to be generous pay increases each year. Companies were not performing well, but executives were getting paid well.
" That changed dramatically in 1983. This year, executive pay increases clearly were linked to company performance, and for the majority of American industry, still recovering from . last year's recession, performance was poor. Thus, salary increases for executives averaged 7.4 percent in 1983, compared with 10.9 last year.
"This is the first time in four years that average salary increases of less than 10 percent have been found in Sibson & Company's annual Executive Compensation Study of 1,000 companies with sales ranging from $10 million to $30 billion. "

1983 SALARY INCREASES

The chart below compares salary changes for 1981, 1982 and 1983. Salary changes can be looked at in several ways to understand what is happening to ppsition salary rates and to individual salary rates. The "Increase in position Average Salary Level" includes those new to a management position, as well as those who were incumbent in the position for more than one year. Hence, this statistic reflects change in the salary level paid to a position.

Bonus Awards The larger the company the more important bonuses are in the total compensation of chief executives. Four out of five firms have some sort of bonus plan. Almost four out of five businesses say they consider personal performance and corporate (or division) performance in determining bonus awards. Although bonus programs are very common, taking business as a whol they are found in only half of. insurance companies and but 20 percent of the utilities. In very large companies, bonuses run over half the size of the salary paid to those at the top; in smaller companies the bonus runs about a' third.

Long-Term Income In addition to salary and bonus it is a very widespread practice to provide various forms of long-term income for the top management group: chiefly, the vehicle is some form of stock-option plan. Depending on the health of the parent company and the swings in the stock market, this income is received irregularly. Yet, over a long period of time it is very important indeed. Sibson &. Company estimates that the average annual income gain from these plans runs from 30 psrcent (in small firms) to 60 percent (in the largest) of the salaries for top executives. Executive Benefits and Perguisites Typically these benefits -- retirement allowances, insurance, medical services, paid club dues, first class air travel, tax counselling, estate and investment planr~ing and a company car represent 25 to 30 percent of an executive's salary. They are not included in the salary figures reported above.

COMPENSATION FOR TOP MANAGEMENT OF VERY LARGE CORPORATIONS
Highlights of BUSINESS WEEK'S "Annual Survey of Executive Compensation for 1984
"Riding the crest of strong recovery, most executives in 1983 receive salary and bonus increases that more than made up for the modest raises or pay cuts that many took in 1982's recession. The 269 companies included in BUSINESS WEEK'S Annual Survey of Executive Compensation boosted their top executives' annual pay an average of 13.1 percent, far outstripping both last year's 3.8 percent inflation rate and the 5.5 percent average increase doled out in 1982. In sharp contrast to the previous year, far more executives got raises than took pay cuts -- 188 to 43. "Many companies hit harder by the recession were generous to their executives in 1983, when their fortunes improved dramatically. No where was this more evident than in Detroit ... "The companies whose executives made the list of the 25 highest paid executives reflect how broadly based the recovery was. Several entrepreneurs who had cashed in on their companies' success in making it to the big leagues headed the list last year. But the vast majority of the best paid in 1983 came from established, mainstream companies .... " BUSINESS WEEK makes it clear that those who made the top in 1983 did so by exercising stock options. Indeed, none of the 25 highest paid executives would have made the list (see next page) on the basis of salary and bonus alone.

Salaries of Professionals in Private Practice

THE EARNINGS OF ATTORNEYS

Leading Findings from the 1983 Survey. by Management
Consulting Firm, Altman & Weil, Inc., (Ardmore, Pennsylvania).
Altman & Weil found that their survey results were more
meaningful if separated into two main categories: (1) average lawyer income in law firms, and .( 2) corporate law department salaries. Also, they found wide variation in the compensation of attorneys, according to position held and by years of experience in the legal profession.

(1) Year Admitted to Practice of Law
Even among full partners in a law firm, earnings vary widely especially by years of experience (and~ no doubt, by individual ability and effort). Altman and Weil's Survey finds, year after year, that total compensation of partners tends to rise, on the average, with experience up to 30 years, then a decline sets in. However, remember we speak of average results for a host of individuals. There is wide variation in each age group. (Note the details in the table below.) You will find many full partners in law firms with compensation of around $60,000 -- which is considerably below the top echelon.

(2) Many Attorneys in Law Firms Are Not Partners
It is also important to keep in mind that a very large proportion of the lawyers serving in law firms are not partners, but rather associates, and their earnings are at a level far below that for partners. Taking all law firms as a whole surveyed by Altman and Weil we find that the number of associates is 80 percent of the number of partners; that is, they are also most as numerous as partners, especially in large firms.'
Earnings of associates vary somewhat' by years of experience, but not as dramatically as that for partners. However, the chief point to note from the detailed figures on the next page 'is that the median compensation of associates runs at a modest level- ..around $40,000. And, keep in mind that half of all the individual lawyers fall below the median.

We conclude this section With a warning that one must not think of the compensation of attorneys in law firms in terms of the most experienced partners. One might say that they are the "cream" at the top. A large proportion of the lawyers in such firms get less than half that of the top level.
Also, see findings of Bureau of Labor Statistics on earnings of attorneys shown on page 80. (These earnings are. not
quite as high as those found by Altman & Weil, perhaps, this
is because of a somewhat different "universe" surveyed.

CORPORATE LAW DEPARTMENTS *

When we inquire into the salary levels for lawyers who work in corporate law departments (banks, insurance companies, manufacturing concerns, etc.) one finds a wide variation in their earnings. Mainly, this diversity is explained by the level of authority and responsibility and the degree of experience enjoyed by each attorney. Next, salaries vary considerably according to the size of the corporate law department being surveyed.

Median. Compensation of Chief Legal and Deputy Chief Officers by size of Law Department, 1982

Size of Department 2-10 Lawyers
11-25 26 or more

Chief Legal $95,000 140,000 146,800

Salaries by Level of Responsibility

Deputy $76,416
93,390 103,239

Managing Attorney $66,539
68,000 93,948

The data immediately following gives a concise picture ofthe situation. The compensation figures shown include salary and cash bonus. Whereas the average compensation shown seems to be a bit lower than that for law firms, keep in mind that the
difference is partly due to omissions; left out are pensions,
fringe benefits and deferred compensation. These omissions can be significant indeed!

$111,000 101,000 71,550 45,599 21,000 28,500 30,100

As stated above, we find that incomes vary widely by position held within the legal departments. For the purposes of the State
Commission on Compensation the relevant positions are surely the highest one or two since the caliber of men wanted for the bench should be such that they would qualify in the top categories. One will find that the members of the State JUdiciary in Georgia are paid $30,000 to $40,000 under that received by lawyers in the highest levels of authority in corporate law departments. Actually
the differential is greater than that because the above figures
pertain to 1982, and we have reason to believe that compensation
levels for attorneys have risen about 7.6 percent in the past year.

*Information from Altman & Wei1, The 1983 Survey of Corporate Law
Department Salaries.

How much does compensation vary with years of experience? The pattern is significantly different from that for law firms. Earnings do rise with experience for about 13 years, after which the earnings' curve is virtually flat (~ee table below). Remember, too, some very significant elements of compensation for the top echelons -- stock options, pensions, and numerous other corporate fringe benefits -- are not included.
