One of the things we will do in FY08 is begin using a new wage scale. We have stretched out the grades on the wage scale to create an incentive for staff to achieve and maintain the status of “Library Associate” Library Associate is a state wide and certified training program for library staff without the terminal Library degree.
So for example, a circulation assistant was a grade 2, in the new scale a circulation assistant is still a grade 2, but if that circ assistant completes their LATI training, they automatically jump to a grade 3.
The higher grade has a higher median wage, so your earnings potential has increased.
We keep pushing more education for our staff so we can be more helpful, but we wanted a way to recognize and reward staff who take the initiative to get that training.
The new scale will be sent to everyone after the Board has approved it on June 13.
