The pay rate was $10.00 per hour. • We anticipate that several of last year's attendants will not return. The starting pay is recommended to be the same as last season, the minimum wage of$7.25 per hour plus an additional $.25 per hour for each prior year of experience ($7.50 for a second-year attendant and $7.75 for a third-year attendant.)
