Brian Cook Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 The AABB salary information is antiquated. Salary depends on the state, city or region. There are also state requirements that will affect your decision. In Los Angeles we pay RN's in the 60,000 - 70,000 annual range and we have a stae requirement that we must have an RN on site where we collect and only a licensed staff member can do therapeutic phlebotomy.

johna Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I ran into a post on this forum that ran back about a year ago in which someone said, "You can't pay people differently for performing the same job!". Am I totally off base or is this statement very inaccurate. I work for an organization that has a different salary scale for MTs and MLTs, which I would guess is pretty much par for the course in a laboratory. Many of these techs are performing exactly the same functions. Our job descriptions of the two differ to some extent since the MT is described as having some administrative responsibilities. But the bottom line is that when an MT and an MLT come to work, in some cases they sit side by side and a casual onlooker would see no difference in their performance or work duties. A few years ago I had an MLT quit because she knew that an MT with the same time in was doing the same job as her at a higher pay rate. Is there a consensus that everything being equal, MTs should be paid more than MLTs? As far as I'm concerned it's a given.Any comments would be appreciated.

Melanie Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Equal pay for equal job. If an MLT is performing all the same tasks as a MT, then they must receive the same wages according to the law. However, if a MT must reveiw the work of an MLT and this is stated in their job descriptions, then the pay structure can be different. I may be off base with this, however, when I was a supervisor and writing job descriptions, it was imperitive that the tasks and responsibilities be spelled out for each position and education requirements to perform that job.

Cathy Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 A couple of years ago, my manager designed a career ladder for MLTs. After 5 years of employment and meeting some qualifications (demonstrating leadership, thorough problem solving ability, performing tasks over and above the job description), an MLT may apply for advancement. The new job description and pay are identical to those of an MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Question Cathy, is the MLT that applies for advancement and works under the same job destription and pay as an MT eligible to apply for a supervisor position if it requires an MT? Just wondering how far it goes. All in all I think it is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi John, No they cannot apply for a supervisory position. Our job descriptions require a BS for supervisors. One other note, we also have a similiar career ladder for MTs. It seems to work well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
