Would it be possible to re-write this position as a project-based contract? Such a position is more appealing for short-term (part-time) gig-type work and telework types. Also, it helps you out in that if the telework thing doesnšt work for various reasons, youšre done with it at the end of the contract. You could always offer an opportunity to renew the contract for a new projects if it does seem to work for the both of you. -Sean On 8/15/14, 12:44 PM, "Kim, Bohyun" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >I am in a situation in which a university has a set salary guideline for >programmer position classifications and if I want to hire an entry-lever >dev, the salary is too low to be competitive and if I want to hire a more >experienced dev in a higher classification, the competitive salary amount >exceeds what my library cannot afford.
