At our August Meeting, we were able to raise $334 for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. This is the equivalent of 2,338 pounds of food, which will feed 1,559 individual meals in the metrolina area. "[This] was all due to the forethought, kindness, and spirit of giving of your group." - Lisa Marie Nisely, SHFBM

From the Chair
Hello CACC Members!
With all the hot compensation topics, it's easy to lose track of changes to benefits that are affecting our bottom lines. Our August meeting was a great reminder of the impact these changes are having on all of our organizations! Bob Kovacs with Compass Group gave a firsthand account of the impacts of ACA that was much appreciated. To follow up, be sure to read below CACC Board member Lee Diamond's piece, "Silent Raise" - it's some very timely food for thought.
Speaking of food... we truly want to thank all of you for your generous donations to Second Harvest; Lisa Marie and her team are so grateful your continued support!
As we push through the end of the year, remember to take advantage of your membership and all CACC has to offer! Join us for one (or all!) upcoming events - WorldatWork courses October 10th & 11th; Member Meeting November 2; and our Fall Social in November.
Our new logo will be on display at all events where we invest in our members by:
Investing in careers.
Investing in professionals.
Investing in community.
Hope to see you all soon,

Member Meeting
We are pleased to have Jeremy Spake, Principal Consultant with Cornerstone, join us for our November meeting to talk about Trends in Performance Management & Compensation. With many companies conducting performance reviews at the end/beginning of the year, this presentation comes at a great time. During this meeting, Jeremy will discuss emerging trends in performance management, case studies of companies, such as Adobe, who moved away from the 'annual review', as well as the compensation considerations for the emerging performance management systems.
Jeremy has a wide range of experience as both a business leader and consultant in compensation, mergers & acquisitions, workforce analytics, and strategic planning. His areas of focus include, but are not limited to, improvement and change initiatives in the areas of compensation planning; short- and long-term incentive plan design; merit budgeting and salary structure development; executive change-in-control, and retention and severance planning.
We hope that you can join us. Meeting details and registration information is below.

The Silent Raise
By Lee Diamond, Treasurer, CACC Board of Directors
If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, did it make a sound? The same is true with a raise. If an employer gives an employee a raise and the employee doesn't know it, is it a raise?
According to the 2016 Colorado Employer Benefits Survey Report by Lockton Inc. 38% of the companies surveyed revealed that they are absorbing the full increase in medical insurance premiums for the coming year.
If the employer chooses, to absorb the medical insurance premium cost increase, as 38% of the respondents have, the employee has received a "silent raise".
Let's do the math. According to the National Conference of State Legislators the average annual cost for family coverage is $17,500. They also suggest the renewal rate increase prior to implementing any cost saving measures such as higher deductible and copays is expected to be around 8%.
$17,500 X 8% = $1,400 increase in premiums
The "silent raise" for someone making $10 an hour could be as high as 6.7%.
By highlighting the costs absorbed by the company, Total Rewards Statements can help an employer get full value for this silent raise.
To read Lee's complete article that includes various shift strategies of employers in the U.S., as well as scenarios of annual salaries and silent raise equivelants, click here.
