[Michlib-l] Class 5 Administrative Assistant Compensation?

[Dan Hutchins]

Hi all,
Ten days ago I asked those of you in class 5 libraries, with class 6s and 4s invited to chime in, to share with me what you pay your full-time accounting/finance/business person based upon education. I received such useful information I decided to ask those of you in class 5 libraries, with class 6s and 4s again invited to chime in, what you pay your library's administrative assistant? I've included the job description of ours below. Of note, VBDL's administrative assistant also has significant bookkeeping responsibilities and is our ILS admin.
Once again, thank you for your help!
Dan Hutchins
