Abstract: This study looks at how education, cooperative function, and geography influence patterns in compensating cooperative employees. Generally, cooperative respondents in the West reported employees had the highest median salaries. Job responsibility, decisionmaking, and performance were the three most important factors for setting salaries according to respondents in a survey conducted for this study. Bonuses were given across job categories. Bonuses were tied to a variety of factors but most reported were financial performance, sales, and performance. Health, life, and disability insurance were the most commonly paid benefits across all geographic areas, all sizes (sales) of cooperatives, and all cooperative function.
