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 doesn¹t work for various reasons, you¹re 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" <b...@hshsl.umaryland.edu> 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.
