RE: [PHP] Re: Pay (Am I getting screwed)

Unfortunately, the IT industry in Oz (AFIAK) doesn't have a minimum pay :( AU$150/wk, so that's AU$7/hr - maybe a job at MacDonalds would be better ? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Soza [mailto:solja@gci.net] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 9:36 AM To: Liam MacKenzie Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Pay (Am I getting screwed) Sorry, I DO have to say that $75US for three 8-hour (assuming lunches) days per week is EXTREMELY crappy pay. That works out to $3.13US per hour. Does that even meet your minimum wage laws?
