Elizabeth, Peer Academic Skills Tutors in our Academic Skills Center are paid $5.30 an hour and Peer Academic Skills Tutor Supervisors are paid $5.80 an hour. Our Student Employment Office recently introduced four pay levels of $5.30, $5.80, $6.30, and $8.00 for the 1999-2000 academic year. The pay level assigned a job will be determined by the tasks associated with each job as defined in the job descriptions. I have requested and hopefully justified the rate of $6.30 (the $8.00 rate include duties at the same level of a University staff member so I was not able to justify asking for the highest rate) an hour for my Peer Tutor Supervisors and $5.80 for Peer Tutors. The Student Employment Office is also planning to add merit and length of service components to the wage structure to reward students who remain in the same job each year. This phase will also occur at the start of the 1999-2000 acad. year. Tutors in the Academic Skills Center are paid for training, meetings, and we also host end-of-the-semester lunches or dinners. I would love to hear how your Tutor of the Year Award is structured.
