Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Notices Employer Costs for Employee Compensation ECEC, employee benefits data on coverage, cost, and provisions, and data used by the Presidents Pay Agent. This data is used by compensation administrators and researchers in the public and private sectors. Data from the NCS are used to help in determining monetary policy as a Principal Federal Economic Indicator.
The integrated programs single sample produces both time-series indexes and cost levels for industry and occupational groups, thereby increasing the analytical potential of the data.
The NCS employs probability methods for selection of occupations.
This ensures that sampled occupations represent all occupations in the workforce, while minimizing the reporting burden on respondents. The survey collects data from a sample of employers. These data will consist of information about the duties, responsibilities, and compensation earnings and benefits for a sample of occupations for each sampled employer.
Data will be updated on a quarterly basis. The updates will allow for production of data on change in earnings and total compensation.
This survey was revised to temporarily add questions to the National Compensation Survey to cover sick leave policy changes due to the coronavirus pandemic. These questions were collected primarily through email in June and July of 2020. These data were approved for collection under Emergency OMB Clearance Package 12200195, but they were discontinued on November 13, 2020. Respondents will electronically complete and submit responses through a simple fillable form. The additional sick leave policy questions are not intended to be collected beyond the July timeframe. At this time, BLS has discontinued in person data collection in response to the coronavirus pandemic. NCS will return to using in person interviews as a method of collection once restrictions are lifted. During this time, the NCS is relying heavily on telephone, email, and mail for current collection. Video interview collection is also available in response to the pandemic and is being considered as a standard collection method.
The NCS collects earnings and work level data on occupations for the nation.
The NCS also collects information on the cost, provisions, and incidence of major employee benefits through its benefit cost and benefit provision programs and publications. BLS has for a number of years been using a revised approach to the Locality Pay Survey LPS component of the NCS; this uses

data from two current BLS programs the Occupational Employment Statistics OES survey and the ECI program. This approach uses OES data to provide wage data by occupation and by area, while ECI data are used to specify grade level effects. This approach is also being used to extend the estimation of pay gaps to areas that were not included in the prior Locality Pay Survey sample, and these data have been delivered to the Pay Agent in 2019, data for 95 areas were delivered.
