Retailers Turn to Salary.com™ to Market Price Key Positions During Uncertain Economic Times

Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation™ and Hy-Vee, Inc.™ Use CompAnalyst® From Salary.com to Analyze and Plan the Cost of Seasonal Support

Waltham, MA, February 11, 2009 -- Salary.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLRY), a leading provider of on-demand compensation, talent management and payroll solutions, is providing its flagship compensation solutions to retailers to forecast and price temporary help during unpredictable retail times. With economic concerns on the rise, retailers such as Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation and Hy-Vee, Inc. are using Salary.com solutions to strategically price key positions and help manage expenses.

2009 forecasts are challenging given the economic climate; consequently, retailers are seeking out strategies that will help them manage costs while sales remain uncertain. Burlington Coat Factory and Hy-Vee, among other retailers, have taken a proactive approach to managing one of their largest expenses -- their employees. Both retailers recognize the importance of investing in their employees who will help manage merchandising, marketing, and selling efforts for increased sales, brand management, and customer retention. These retailers have selected CompAnalyst® to help market price compensation for key positions in the front office, ecommerce, and brick-and-mortar locations for better managing costs and profitability.

"These uncertain times require proactive analysis of compensation plans to handle the ups and downs of retail demand. We help retailers forecast the cost of compensating their seasonal help and ensure they are offering competitive wages to attract key positions and manage the overall health of their businesses," said Carol Ferrari, product marketing director of compensation at Salary.com.
