What exactly do schedulers get paid?

March 01, 2016 09:20PM
Using the example here, the pay of public employees (including first-responders and educators) is public record. The taxpayers want to know what they are paying their public employees. Private industry, aka Corporate America, is under no obligation to share anything unless the SEC requires it.

More About Schedulers
March 05, 2016 07:17AM
Micromanaged schedulers...I know a company that definitely does this! I can tell because I'll get a few emails about a shop during the day just because they're so nervous about it getting done (deadline shops). They want me to keep them apprised so they can keep their manager apprised. I have no problem with this, and I'm quite communicative mobile. I just think it's kind of amusing from my end, since I rarely have to reschedule, and take deadlines dead serious. In my mind it's like yeah I said I would do it, I'm doing it, and my record should show I follow through. I guess I fail to at times consider it from their perspective. I can't imagine how many flakes and mess ups there are.

You get paid per edit or shop you schedule. You have a caseload you are responsible for each month. The closer you get to your goal, the bigger % bonus you get. You can elect to take on a bigger workload and make more money and bonus per month. As per $ per hour, it depends on how efficient you are each day, if it's editing, how good the reports are when they get to you, and if it's sechuduling; how many people self assign. The companies I am familiar with have IC's as editors and schedulers.

I agree, though I have no problem with someone asking about pay. As long as it is not specific, nothing wrong with giving a general idea.

Whenever I ask if a bonus can be increased, all of the schedulers from my MSC always say that they have to get authorization first. So it makes me wonder if they have to pay the bonuses themselves and are just giving a line or if the MSC pays and they really do have to ask first?

It depends completely on the msp.

For example - Disney pays low - it is not offensive to ask what an average cast member would make without asking someone directly. ...

LOL...Disney pays low NOW days. When I worked there (I put in my 20 years in the 70s and 80s and quit when my girls were in elementary school), I was earning $18+/hour straight time/time and a half overtime & double time for holidays...plus an awesome benefits package...plus the seniority to get scheduled on any attraction I wished plus a good pension I'm drawing from now....(ps-i took an early pension payout lol)
But I know times have dramatically changed at the mouse house. winking smiley

That sounded like poetry to me so...

Shoppers have asked what a scheduler makes.
They say headaches and hassle and flakes.
