I agree with Karen about a decent pay scale for California - $16.15 is a ridiculous wage for California. Although San Francisco is on the high end because of our insanely high cost of living (San Francisco even has it's own minimum wage of $9.75/hr), $16.15 seems horribly low for anywhere in th

Anthony, You live in CA, work 50 hour weeks and you are a HTL with an unprecedented and valuable resource at your disposal, Histonet and you know how to use it. For this you get paid $16.15/hour by what appears to be an employer who isn't grateful to have you. I'd start looking for another

$16.15 per hour. They are getting a great deal. I believe you should be making at least double that. What I believe is happening is that a lot of offices are now starting to open their own labs and they are trying to get us cheap. We all need to stick to our guns and not let them get us cheaper

Hospitals/labs can make any position exempt or non-exempt. That's up to them. However, I'd say you are being underpaid. According to the last ASCP Wage/Salary survey (completed 2008, published 2009), the median range for HTL was about $20 - $25 per hour, with the median average being $23.46/hour.
