- Annual Wage & Benefits Survey – Number Returned to Date: 115
Target Number: 305
Surveys Still Required: 190
The 36th Annual Survey of Income and Benefits was mailed out at the end of last week. The response rate has been very good and to date we have received 85 surveys. Last year we received a total of 233 surveys and we would really like to increase that number. The more surveys we get back the more accurate the results will be. The highest number ever received was 305 in 2004 and we would like to achieve that number again in 2010. We encourage all MSP members to complete the survey and return it at their earliest convenience. The data derived from this survey provides the most reliable reference for negotiating compensation for pharmacists’ services. The surveys can be mailed to MSP in the self addressed envelope that is provided or faxed to (204) 956-6686.
Please do not send by both mail and fax.
The deadline to submit completed surveys is March 5th, 2010.
- The Deadline for Nominations for the Award of Merit is Feb. 4th, 2010. The Award of Merit is bestowed upon an active member of the Manitoba Society of Pharmacists in recognition for active participation and promotion contributing to the benefit of the Manitoba Society of Pharmacists and the Profession of Pharmacy.
