Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens when I submit my application and payment?
    Once your application and payment are received and processed, you will receive an e-mail from an ERC Member Services Manager who will welcome you to ERC membership. In that message you will receive details about how to access the services available to you as an ERC member including your unique access codes to login to the ERC Member Center. In addition, you will get free immediate access all currently published ERC Northeast Ohio compensation and benefits surveys.
  • I have multiple divisions/branches. Can they all join under one name?
    Yes! Your dues will be calculated based on the total number of full-time equivalent employees that work at each of the divisions/branches that you would like to join. One invoice will be sent to you each year that is based on this total number.

    How much does membership cost?
    ERC membership dues are based on the number of full-time employees that work at your organization, and are listed in the above chart. There is also an initial $150 application fee for new members.
  • How often will I need to renew my membership?
    ERC membership automatically renews every year based on the month in which you joined and the number of full-time equivalent employees that work at your organization. An invoice will be sent to you via e-mail 60 days prior to your renewal date. For example: If you join ERC on July 15 your renewal date will be July 1, and you will be sent an invoice on May 1.

These are just a few of the ways ERC members use this valuable membership:

Can someone from ERC meet with me to talk about membership?

Absolutely! A great way to learn more about the advantages of ERC membership is to attend one of our frequent ERC Orientation Programs. Or, if you can't make it to the next program, the ERC team can sit down with you and your staff in the comfort of your own office. To set up an "on-site" ERC Orientation at your office, contact our Member Services team at 877/696-3636 or e-mail membership@ercnet.org.
