Technicians pay

[cookie_monster]

I never said that the recession should be used as an excuse to cut salaries, only that the government has a duty to minimise its costs to taxpayers.

 

Which they fail to do by employing underqualified people who throw money away, better to hire the right person and do the job right the first time. Typical government thinking. 12k might be ok for the most basic of desktop tecs but any higher roll should be much more, at the very least on a par with an NQT.

Spoke to an old friend a TESCO trolly pusher other day who is on same sort of wage as me. As others have said though if you don't like the pay why apply and then moan about it.

 

In my honest opinion though all but trainee techs should be on the same as an NQT at least more so if they have a degree/experiance/professional certification. Specially when IMO techs are far more capable than the teachers actually teaching the subject!!! Also alot of the techs are key to the efficient/effective running of the school, allthough in current climate I imagine easy to replace.

 

I think 18 - 24 k is reasonable for techs. Managers being on between 25 - 35k depending on responsibilities and years worked. Can't moan though with a final salary pension as well to boot.

Well, if the final salary is pathetic, you could still moan...

Not moaning about it as I have no intention of applying. I am happy where I am. I just find it unbelievable that such varying wages exist. I spent over 17 years in commercial IT where such inconstancies did'nt occur...or at least they didn’t in SAP.
