Dear All,
Firstly, many thanks to everyone who replied to my plea for information
concerning hourly rates of pay for student employees. The information will
be extrememly useful.
Secondly, I promised a summary of results, so here they are:
24 institutions responded from England, Scotland and Ireland. Many offer
differing rates of pay according to the specific jobs that students are
required to perform.
For those who are just required to shelve stock, the average hourly rate
of pay was GBP 4.18 (the highest being GBP 5.36).
Jobs requiring more "skill" such as manning desks; using IT; working
evenings and weekends; special project work; web authoring; were generally
paid at a higher rate. The average here being GBP 4.52 per hour (the
highest was GBP 5.50).
