Mercer Middle East's (TRS) Total Remuneration Surveys cover all forms of cash and non-cash compensation elements, for over 1,000
benchmark jobs. Across the Middle East and North Africa over 1,600 unique organisations representing almost 250,000 employees were surveyed in 2015.
The slightly lower number in this year's report reflects changes made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to
benchmark jobs data, Scott said.
The median total cash compensation for some of the
benchmark jobs included in the survey report is: Engineering R&D Director "C" $121,800 Chemistry R&D Director "D" $81,250 Engineering R&D Manager $97,875 Behavioral Science R&D Manager $96,078 Engineering R&D Section Head $101,770 Chemistry R&D Section Head $83,054 Engineering R&D Unit Supervisor $87,733 Research Administrator $72,450 Behavioral Science "Distinguished" R&D Specialist $113,184 Physics R&D Specialist "A" $84,127 Computer Science R&D Specialist "B" $64,000 Life Sciences R&D Specialist "C" $44,117 Engineering R&D Technician "A" $50,910
Abbott, Langer mailed questionnaires for this survey in February 1996, and in response, 164 organizations provided data on over 8,700 managerial, supervisory, sales, professional, technical and clerical employees in 82
benchmark jobs.

To do this pay survey and analysis, the organization identifies a set of
benchmark jobs. These
benchmark jobs are jobs within the organization that are common in other organizations.
