MA publishes final draft of salary guidelines
31-05-2006,
The MA has published the final draft of its salary guidelines for museums, the result of its 2004 report Pay in Museums, which found that pay in the museum sector was falling behind other comparable sectors...
The guidelines are designed to help museums determine salaries appropriate for the amount of experience, knowledge and responsibility that is demanded of a post.
Ultimately, it is hoped the guidelines will bring pay in the museum sector in line with other comparable sectors.
Commenting on the publication, the MA's director, Mark Taylor said: 'Since the draft guidelines were piloted in 2005 there has been a positive response from individuals and organisations who have used them as an advocacy tool or as a practical guide for setting salaries.
'I hope that the impact of the salary guidelines will continue to grow, and future research will show museum salaries beginning to reflect the vast skills and dedication the workforce brings to this sector.'
