I used the word "apprentice" loosely. I work in a non-union shop. This person was originally hired as an hourly lube tech who is now a flat-rate mechanic in training. One idea I have heard were that I would be paid a percentage of the work that he would turn out. I have no idea what that percentage should be or even if that is a good or bad plan. I am not sure what average salaries are in down state Illinois, however I think that I am one of the higher paid techs at my dealership at $19/hour.

Hello all! I am new member so I hope this is the right forum for this topic. I am a subaru dealer non-union mechanic. I will be training an apprentice next month. I have never been in that kind of situation and neither has my dealership. Management is looking for my input on how I should be compensated. Are any of you familiar with this and if so what should I ask for/expect? Thanks.
