1 Open position for an assistant, doesnt require too much in the area of education but if the candidates are:

New College Grad

HS Grad with two years office experience

Recent high school graduate with unrelated experience


Would you start them all out with the same wage/salary or give one more than the others or just see what they are looking for salary wise?

    It may be fine to give different amounts of pay based on education and experience. In fact, I think it would be a good practice to give more for the epericenced and educated employees. But you always have to be sure that you have a good, valid reason for the differences in pay. For example, if the recent HS grad is a female, and the other applicants are males, it could be perceived as discriminatory, unless supported by valid business reasons.

    Good Luck!
