Participants may sign-up for membership and contribute data to the survey at any time during a calendar quarter. At the end of each data collection period, survey data that has been collected during that quarter is compiled for reporting purposes. It takes approximately three months to audit, calculate and validate the survey data before the results are available on the web site. The results for that collection period are available in the first month of the calendar quarter (January, April, July and October) following the audit process.
Once a subscriber has signed up for membership, submitted data to the survey and has remitted their annual subscription fee, they will receive immediate access to the survey results for 12 consecutive months. Payment may be remitted by credit card directly on the WageAccess® web site, or by check.
Members will be notified of renewal requirements by e-mail 30 days prior to the membership expiration date. Failure to renew by the close of the membership expiration date will result in termination of access to the survey results.
In consideration of your use of the Site, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself and your company as prompted by the Site. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Synergy has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Synergy has the right to (a) exclude any suspect data from the survey results, and/or (b) suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site (or any portion thereof).
During completion of the survey data entry process, you agree to review the applicable WageAccess® job titles and job descriptions, and make an appropriate and careful match between each of the positions your company is reporting and the corresponding WageAccess® position. You also agree to provide true, accurate and current survey data for each position being reported. Further, you agree to provide survey data for a number of positions representing a substantial percentage of your company's true total employee population.

New survey data is compiled quarterly and combined with previously collected data to calculate the results for each quarter of the year. An Aging Factor is applied to all previously collected data to adjust for the movement of salaries through the year.
This Aging Factor is proprietary to Synergy. It is derived from a combination of statistical metrics, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), BLS-reported annual changes in national salary data, actual reported WageAccess® salary data trends and other economic parameters. This aging process is designed to provide a more accurate representation of current pay levels. However, the assumptions and calculations applied through the data aging process may be flawed and may not actually represent current or valid pay levels for any particular position or any particular market.
