Skilled?
Child some that I have had employed couldn't even spell and was graduating from high school.
Whenever they wrote something, I had to have them interpret it.
And the one I put on cash...my gawd he couldn't count...everyday his till was short, then one day he told me he "borrowed" funds to buy lunch! :taped2: If I had hauled off and slapped him I would be in Foxhill today!
So skilled I don't think so!
lol....say lunch...he is too bold

Beyond bold! How did he expect to balance was my question to him!

who was responsible for hiring him though? i mean, the role of cashier should require the most rudimentary mathematical skills. that could've been a dangerous (and costly) oversight.

LOL! :taped2:

Q&A:
1-Do they pay rent? Doubtful.
2-Do they have trans to maintain? Doubtful again.
3-Do they pay for groceries and other bills? Once again highly doubtful.
4-Is this a temporary job? For certain.
5-Do they have any experience? Doesn't seem so.
$175 a week.

An individuals personal obligations or lack therof should have no bearing on what they get paid. Their skill level and the rigour of their duties shoudl be what counts. It is no business of the employer if the employee lives at home or doesn't have car insurance to pay. That kind of tactic is disgusting, inappropriate and unfair. One does not have to have a load of kids and some lemon of a car to have bills. School is quite expenisve, as well as food and clothing.

An employees personal life can most certainly effect their job performance and an employer should know what they need to. Disgusting or not is irrelevant as the employer is the one that is paying the money, not the employee - if the employee does not like it, they can simply go work elsewhere.

And they have a choice to goto school or not, they dont have a choice to pay for food or a place to live.

Under the government summer program
the wages for summer students is as follows:
College students $200.00
Students with BGCSE $150.00
Students with BJC's $120.00
student with no qual $100.00
Hope this helps

THis is a big help. Thanks. Now they can justify what is fair.

Your missing the point. If an individual having kids is going to directly affect their job performance, then they wont be hired at all. However in situations where if one has kids, mortage, is married or not has no bearing on the job duties, it most certainly should have no bearing on what they get paid.

yeah but we talking about kids living at home with mummy and daddy .. plus if one can base the salary on ones certificates they gained in school, then certainly one can base ones salary on other things determined by the employer - it is the employers business after all. Now if said kid got mad skills and experience then certainly they should get paid MAD money .. works both ways :hammer:

becuase they are a student and its only a summer job i would say no less than 150 no more than 200.

you must also realise that the company could skip the student all together and just hire a full time person.

the student probably lives at home so 200 per week is very good change to save to take back to college.

the first intrest of any business or company is to pay out as little as humanly possible in labour. hence the whole reason summer student jobs were created.

with increasing gas prices taken into consideration too.
Wait til you get employees.

Gal u read my mind if the student is doing all of that then they should be paid just what any other employee doing the same thing would be paid.. I would think there would only be a question if it were per say an internship then they would be paid in the applicable credit hours!!:jawdroop:


Well, yes and no. Thankfully I am no longer in a position to have to make such decisions and have no need to know this info any longer...

Let's say a business is fully staffed and running smooth. Taking on a student for the summer is them possibly more of a charitable act. It could also actually result in more work for the regular employees. It could make the business less efficient. So it is possible that the student should pay the business to work there for the deal to be fair...

Not that is ever likely to happen in the modern "normal" business world.

all the best,
