Does anyone know how much summer help we hired this year as opposed to last year? I also hope we hired previous experienced summer help over those who worked strictly at the pool.
Two years ago there was a huge amount of summer help on the payroll. Last year, because of the pool closing and keeping those employees on the payroll we once again had a lot of summer help. That's why I would like to know what our count is this year compared to last year (especially because of the economy and excess help we had in the past).
I also heard kids bragging at LP because they are going to work for Peru Summer Help. They were bragging about starting at $12.50 an hour. What is the matter with minimum wage for the young people? Most adults out of work, won't make what they do. I think its wrong to pay them so much, especially a lot of them just goof off.
Seems to be a lack of supervision and the kids have great fun as they race through town on the mowers or play tag. I'm going to make a guess and say that the kids getting 12.50 (which is way to much) are returns from last years group. I remember that happened last year. New hires got one wage and returning summer help got more.
Certainly not $12.50/hour? I thought it used to be that way but that the new mayor changed the pay scale. Not sure - does anyoe know the answer or could an alderman give us the actual pay scale?

9:21 Apparently $12.50/hour is a fact for some of the summer help since no one who is in the know has denied it.
