Subject: Student employment
question
While I know that anything related to HR is a sensitive subject, I'm
attempting to justify an increase in the starting salary I offer to students
in my Technology Department. The common answer I usually receive from
upper management is "what are other MSU departments paying?" whenever I try
to make any increase. So, my question is for anyone using student employees
in technical positions, be it on your own help desk, or configuring and
troubleshooting PCs, or in any job where a minimum level of technical
knowledge and skill are required to be hired.
My question to NAG is what are you offering as a starting hourly
wage to student "techies"? I know we all compete with each other for
good student help, so I understand if you are unwilling to reply.
Also, if you prefer not to share this information publicly, please email me

I will keep that information confidential if you wish. My thanks for
any feedback you are willing to provide.
