Staff Pay

[Cierra]

Do you pay your staff? If so, in what form of currency? Are there any incentives/perks that you give out to your staff members?

 

[Shannon Apple]

I don't even get paid. I'm a volunteer admin. So... no.

 

[SamDLowe]

I don't pay staff on forums as I like to reinvest any money I earn and would rather not spend that on labour, when it could be spent on a brand new feature which will benefit my members. Plus, I want staff members who actually want to work on the forum because they enjoy it, not because they are getting paid. Unless you are Mumsnet or a forum with millions of members, it is more of a hobby than a business and should be treated as such.

 

[Ashley]

Nope. I'd like to, but at the same time it's hard to trust anybody on the Internet these days, so I like to stay away from that sort of thing, if only for safety reasons.

 

[Caedus]

Nope, I don't pay any of them.

If they have a website, I might join it and give them some activity, but that's about all I can do.
