I'm just slow, I guess.</div> <div><br></div> <div>No, I didn't use any CAUT information.  So far, I don't feel that any of CAUT data is useful because I believe administrators will regard it as self-serving.</div> <div>My compensation department talked to other compensation departments to confirm what is being paid to technicians.  They will not ever regard the technicians themselves as a reliable source for this sort of information.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ken</div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">In a message dated 5/23/02 8:27:18 AM Central Daylight Time, k-eschete@northwestern.edu writes:</font></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1"><br> Ken<br> <br> Thank you for sharing this with us. I have a couple of questions.<br> <br> You said you are an hourly employee, working 40 hours a week. Most of the time when employees are asked to work 40 hours a week, they work an 8 - 5 job. In most instances, when employees works "regular" hours, but then are asked to work at other times, they are allowed to take time off during the regular work week. And if they have to work on Sunday or a Holiday, they get paid time and a half, or even double time. Is this your situation? Are you allowed to take off during the week if you have to work evenings, or during the weekend, or do they pay you additional money?<br> <br> The other question I have is did you use the CAUT formula during your interview to justify your job, or at least show them how much work is involved in doing your job?<br> <br> Thanks<br> <br> Wim</font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>-- <br> Kenneth Eschete<br> Director of Keyboard Maintenance        <span ></span>       Phone: 847/467-6970<br> Northwestern University School of Music<x-tab>     </x-tab>       FAX: 847/491-5260 <x-tab>       </x-tab><x-tab>        </x-tab><x-tab>        </x-tab><x-tab>        </x-tab><x-tab>        </x-tab>    711 Elgin Rd.; Evanston, Il 60208 <br>  <br>  EMAIL: k-eschete@northwestern.edu<br> </div> </body> </html>
