Long Island districts spend $4.7 billion annually on employee compensation governed by CBAs. CompBase gives you structured, cross-district intelligence to negotiate, budget, and present with confidence.
When the union says "we're the lowest paid in the county," you need to know if that's true — and have the data to prove it either way. See exactly where your district stands across 56 Nassau or 68 Suffolk districts for any position at any experience level.
When Syosset settles at 3.4%, it changes your negotiation. When three comparable districts close above 3%, it becomes the floor. CompBase tracks every settlement as it happens — so you're never working from last quarter's data.
Every dollar of salary increase carries additional employer costs: FICA (7.65%), TRS (10.2%), workers' comp, and more. A 3% raise on a $100M teacher payroll doesn't cost $3M — it costs $3.6M+. CompBase models the fully-loaded cost so you know the real number before you offer it.
Built into every salary schedule is an automatic cost increase: as employees advance one step each year, the payroll grows — independent of any negotiated raise. CompBase separates the "hidden raise" from the negotiated raise so your board sees both numbers.
New York's property tax cap (2% or CPI) creates a hard ceiling. With compensation at 75–81% of budget, there's almost no room for raises after accounting for step increments, health insurance increases, and TRS rate changes. CompBase models whether your offer — or the union's proposal — fits within the cap.
Your board wants to see where the district stands. The union went to the press with selective data. A parent is asking questions at the budget hearing. CompBase generates presentation-ready charts and rankings you can pull up instantly — with source attribution on every number.
Model any proposal in seconds. Change the percentage, add a lump sum, adjust health contributions, extend the contract term. See the fully-loaded cost impact across all steps, all employees, all years — with compounding calculated correctly.
Flat annual subscription tiered by enrollment. Covers all bargaining units in your district — teachers, support staff, administrators.
Your district's teacher payroll alone is $40M+. A 0.25% improvement in your next settlement saves $100,000. This subscription costs less than two days of your labor attorney's time — and gives you 365 days of intelligence.
See your district's position across Long Island — with real numbers from real contracts. We'll walk through a live demo with your specific titles and comparables.
