ECI was formed in the mid-1970s to track changes in the costs of employment.  Later some modifications were added on health and other fringe benefits. The data gathered are for job categorization, rather than for individual employee. Jobs are sampled relative to their dominance at the establishment.  ECI suggests that separate wages and benefits should be given for instance to miners, engineers, and truck drivers. Salaries should always equate depending on the difficulty of the job responsibility.
