Hi guys and gals, I have to comment on this subject.  This is where I wish 
there was a clear cut answer in deciphering what duties an aide vs. HT vs. HTL 
should and shouldn't do.  I work in a private pathology lab where we have a 
little of everything-an HTL with BS in science, an HT with a 2 yr, an HT with 
no education, and an aide with only a couple college credits.  Everyone is 
expected to know everything-embedding, cutting, staining, IHC, and also 
grossing.   I highly do not agree with the expectations.

Is there some documentation that actually says what the limits are for 
unqualified people?  Also we need to question if they "should" be doing these 
duties.
