  • 1.  Bio Records Position Compensation

    Posted 03-29-2024 12:54 PM
    Hello,

    The Georgia Tech Foundation will assume the responsibility of hiring and managing three new positions for Bio Records maintenance on July 1st.  One position will be supervisory and the other two will be data entry, both manual entry as well as entry through imports and integrations.

    We are looking for industry standards in how much compensation we should offer for these positions.  

    Would anyone be willing to share what they offer for these types of positions?  What are the industry standards?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jennifer - I feel like my team is on the low end, but we pay $42-$45K for that type of position and classify it as non-exempt. I'll note that we're a state institution with lower compensation than a lot of peer organizations, but our position is also fully remote/work-from-home, which has been appealing to a lot of candidates.

    At UNC Chapel Hill, we might be a bit higher. We are at $43K to start (which I feel is low), up to $53K for an experienced data management person. Supervisory staff is quite a bit higher, as these folks are experienced and supervise larger groups. One supervisor is a Business Analyst at about $74K but with 16 years' experience and 6 staff members. The University has made an effort to be more competitive with the private sector. Chapel Hill is not a large town, but we are part of the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, which includes RTP and a lot of tech corporations. You may want to research local salary standards in Atlanta. Higher ed might still be less than the private sector, but it is wise to stay competitive to retain folks. I find that data management is not just an entry-level position. You want folks with a specific eye for detail and data patterns, who can be proactive and also look at a wholistic picture of the data.
