We pay our Ind. Maint. Techs $21.80/hr to start, and cap at $25. Still can’t find anyone worthwhile, willing to work OT on top of that.

My brother does that kind of work and the rates you mention sound very competitive for the southeast US. Not sure how that would compare nationally.

Why a cap? Is OT a condition on hiring? If so, why? Can't you manage the dept on straight time workers?

I truly don't understand why some people see OT as a benefit. If people want to work OT fine. But, if they can work regular hours and do the job what's the complaint based on, then?

Does the company place onerous conditions on the applicant? Drug screening at random? Required to report arrest (for any reason) to the employer? Deny employment because of a five or ten year old criminal act (OUI or drugs)? Want Facebook/social networking passwords?

Wages are not the only consideration when taking a job.

Impeach the kenyan or secession.
