With commodity prices suffering across the board this year, mining companies have had to tighten the purse strings in many ways: Projects have been put on hold, staff have been laid off and exploration spending has plummeted.
But according to a recent survey by CostMine, the majority of US mines have actually increased wages by an average of 3.1%. Meanwhile, no companies have decreased wages.
CostMine’s Salaries, Wages and Benefits survey of US metal and industrial mineral mines also shows that a large number of companies are offering their employees the opportunity to increase wages through incentive bonus plans.
And benefits range from the standard health and life insurance to some pretty innovative packages: Education and training assistance, matching charitable gift programs, scholarships and health club memberships.
That’s not all: Since safety is always at the forefront of a successful mining operation, many companies are offering cash bonuses for good safety performance.
Miners across the US are proving to be pretty creative and resourceful when it comes to compensation packages. To get a full insight into what some of America’s leading mining companies are doing, check out CostMine’s 2013 US Metal and Industrial Mineral Mine Salaries, Wages and Benefits report.
In addition to details on bonus plans and other benefits, the CostMine survey provides a comprehensive breakdown of compensation in the mining sector, for jobs ranging from heavy equipment operators, to secretaries to executive officers.
