average wage for a typist?
- Thread starter Ben M
- Start date
Providing they both type the same speed then, yes the hotter girl should get more money. If she one finger types then pay them the same.
But seriously, 15 years in a company deserves more pay as she'll know a hell of a lot more about the company and it's workings that anyone starting. Give her a raise
P.S. Damn you and your continuous head shots on me in TF2 the other day biba

Unbelievable, most Typist around here get around £5.80 to £6.20 an hour, and I would consider the latter to be extremely good.
I know a few admin people who do a lot more than type, and was suprised to learn that one lady was getting paid 17K a year and she had been with the company for 19 years.
I was continually angered that the English counterparts whom did a lot less, were offering 17K to 18/19 year olds who had no experience.
But the way I see it is, if you're stupid enough to work for nothing (barring lack of alternatives or ability/youth) then you deserve what you get paid.

What's your name on steam? I don't remember shooting a hen dawg!
"ODS Isaac Cox @H|H" is I
Oh yeah, I remembered your name from that steam username thread but not your ocuk name!
If it's literally just typing and very basic admin then I don't think she should be paid more. Does the "quotes etc. putting them in spreadsheets" bit involve anything more than just plugging in numbers?
However secretarial roles can vary wildly, ranging from the above right through to a full blown PA - answering phones, setting up meetings, organising calendar etc). Those type of roles can often pay a lot more, as a proficient PA can be invaluable to high level managers/directors.
