Salary Survey

Yesterday was my first time to do a salary survey. I did it via phone. I wanted to know the salary range of IT department staff working in different hotels. So, I called a dozen or so hotels. Most of them did not want to realease any salary information and told me that it was confidential despite my mentioning my name and the name of the place I work at and that I work at the HR Department! Other hotels though were more cooperative and gave me either salary ranges for different IT positions they have or actual salary values for the positions. The final survey was full of hoels, but at least I had my first try with conducting salary surveys.
