Temp to perm position--wage? |
I have been working for a small commercial printing business for almost 3 months. They have 18 full time employees, some have been there over 20 years. I am getting $14/hr and I know that they are being charged $21/hr from the temp service. They asked me what I wanted to get paid when hired. I told them I needed some time because there are a couple things I need to take into consideration. 1. They will offer me health benefits and they pay the full amount, which for my family would be atleast $1000/month, I don't need those because my husband carries our health insurance--therefore when I take that into account health benefits are equal to $5.77/hr. Also, I know that raises are very few and far in between. I am basically their office manager, human resource person, accts. payable & receivable, and of course payroll, and everything else. I would like to get $20/hr. But I know that seems a little steep. Please give some honest opinions. Also what will they be charged? the reason the temp agency is charging $21/hr...is that they have costs to cover for you while you are on this job (workers comp, disability, unemply taxes, etc). Normally when you move from temp to perm, you can ask for about 1/3 more...so i think $20/hr is acceptable. you can always negoitate if they bulk at this...say $18 for six months, if everything goes well...the $20...or you ask for $18 and an annual bonus based upon the profitability of the company. good luck Source(s): 40+ years experience I've had a lot of experience working temp to perm, and I can tell you that $20.00 an hr isn't going to happen unless they are desperate and cannot find anyone else. They can always hire another temp employee. The wage is determined by what your area is paying for the position (on a permanent position), and $14.00 an hour is what you would probably be offered. Sometimes you go down in wages when hired to perm, because temp places usually get more. So $14.00 (or you might be able to bargain them to $15.00), doesn't really sound so bad. When I got hired in permanently from the temp service, I took a rollback in wage. I was shocked but I soon found out that my employer wanted to play it safe. As soon as my three month probation was up, I got one raise after another even putting me ahead of some of the higher seniority permanent staff. My suggestion is wait until your 3 month probation is up on permanent payroll and then ask for either one raise or ask if the will "stagger" it over 3 to 6 months. |
