ERI's Occupational Assessor (OA), also called the Enhanced Dictionary of Occupational Titles (eDOT), is an easy-to-use program that assists in the determination of FLSA exemption status based on new FLSA overtime laws and disability determination analyses. OA's online use contributes data to the eDOT Skills Project cybernetic system of collecting physical, mental, and environmental demands found in the modern workplace, and it also contributes to ERI Salary Surveys online survey databases. In turn, data is contributed to ERI's Job Availability Survey, capturing job occurrences; this counting is complemented with the millions of individuals' job title counts gathered annually from loan and employment applicant earnings verifications, digitized public records including the US SEC and IRS returns, and ERI's patented online surveys, including ERI's study of job board data. The consequence is that ERI can report both the pay for jobs and the frequency of job's occurrence within a geographic area or industry. Sold on an annual subscription basis, database updates are released each quarter (see Update Available).
