How much would you expect to be paid?

Question

I am trying to gauge public opinon and I was wondering how much you would expect to be paid for the following job:

Working for a call centre based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, the post of Communications Operator you would be expected to answer phone calls from clients and where appropriate contacting the neccesary company to arrange emergency boarding of property, calling engineers out etc.
The operator would have to work on a 24hour 7 day week rota, on a shift of 6 on 4 off.

So basically you get a call from a client needing some emergency work doing and you are responsible for contacting the emergency workers.

Cheers

Answer 1

Depends on how much support you are expected to provide.

If you just refer all calls to others, then 1 - 1.5 times whatever your minimum wage is for that area.

If you're telling the client how to fix the problem themselves, or helping them troubleshoot before you bounce the call then I'd expect 1.5-3 times the minimum wage.

Answer 2

I would expect to make somewhere near minimum wage. Although, you will probably get a lot of on the job training that might come in handy if you decide to jump ship to a competitor in the future.

Answer 3

Not much.Sounds like a boring job that anyone could do with a little training.

Answer 4

$3000-$4000 a month

Answer 5

sounds kind of clandestine. Probably end up drawing a public servants salary.

Answer 6

$500. an hour
