Prevailing wage for an "electrician" (Journeyman level)is about $28.??/hr plus the "fringes" which pays for the benefits. Master doesen't make a difference.
And yes, 401K, health, dental, eye, long term & short term disability...
If I work on a private job (not prevailing wage)they will pay $25.00/hour plus $500.00 per month towards the above benefits.
The best part about it is that when I get paid I don't have to pay any overhead!
Man, I hope this works out as well as it sounds... Thanks for the support guys.
Oh, and by the way, the owner of this company told me that he belongs to some kind of network (can't remember what it's called) that groups up electrical contractors of similar sizes from different parts of the country so that they can discuss problems and ideas like we do here. They communicate by email or phone but once a year they meet in a central location.
Knowing how priceless this site is to us, imagine what that would be like.
If anyone is interested, I might be able to find out more.
Thanks again for the support and good wishes.
