I realize this will vary wildly by location and job, but in preparation for our next financial year, which rolls over during the summer, I'm working on a proposal to revamp our rental policies, including fees for the facility, equipment, and staff. Facility rates I can draw from nearby locations, but it's harder to find out salaries. I'm curious what would be considered a reasonable hourly pay rate for the following positions in a professional environment.
Manager - opens the building and closes for the renters, supervises all setup including technical setup onstage. Must be able to operate audio, lighting, and rigging positions, and manages a small staff. For professional rentals this may mean sitting back and enjoying the show, for amateurs who rent it means becoming stage manager.
Student technician - expected to be proficient in whatever area they are working.
I recently found out that our rates are astronomically high, which is why no one rents from us, and for the few renters that come through I'm the manager, and I'm paid less than custodial.
Thanks,
