Pay Equity
Too often the work of library directors and staff is not understood, is undervalued and is not compensated fairly. In other words, many library directors and staff receive lower pay than other employees who do comparable work. The purpose of the questionnaire below is to address these inequities.
Suggestions for using the questionnaire:
- Basic Level: Use it with the library board to justify a salary increase for the library director.
-
Second Level: Have all library staff complete it to justify an increase for the library staff as a whole.
-
Third Level: Approach the city and request that the city as a whole conduct a pay equity study if they haven't already and/or to request a library budget increase to improve library salaries.
