Re: what digitizers should be paid!
If they are fairly new we start them at 12/hr... after a few weeks we can determine if they are a match, (3-4) and then we raise them to 14/hr. After that their pay is based on their performance.. the more they produce, the more they make. ... the harder the design they can comfortably do , the more they make. so after about 6 months they are in their groove so we put them on a salary depending on their performance. This salary is renegotiated whenever they consistently show a marked change in that performance. Average digitizer here is making between 40-50k, with some making in excess of 85k... really depends on the skill level they are. Of course they all get medical, dental, 401k, holidays paid, and vacation time based on years of service.
We really try to make it difficult for them to leave and open their own shop.. they could probably make more money on their own with less work, but there is something to be said for a consistent pay and benefits!
