I believe part of the situation calls for a paradigm shift by all of us in business - especially leadership. Most every Assistant type job and Specialized Services position I know of would be able to, today, create 2 or 3 more positions from what they are currently doing. What I have experienced is really bright people being told to "juggle more balls". As long as profit is the motivator this will continue to happen.
As the private-sector begin to look for new "corporate-social value" business models I am hoping this mentality will change. Research has shown it has changed in the minds of our millennials where all work is honourable and the purpose of business is for societal development!
In my opinion an Assistant Records Manager and Senior Records Clerk are very different and the range for a Senior clerk seems to be low.

Subject: [RM] Job descriptions and salary info for Assistant RM
It has been a while since I've posted to this list but I'm seeking some advice on job descriptions and particularly salary information for a position that we are converting from an Acquisitionist/Cataloger/Archives Assistant (with a salary of about $35k) to an Assistant Records Manager or something like that. Essentially, we are robbing Peter to pay Paul because we have no budget to hire externally right now or even in the near future.
Although he isn't overly thrilled with the idea, my PT assistant will lose his copy cataloging and acquisitions duties (and even some of his archives duties) to begin assisting me in records surveys, training, and other miscellaneous duties on the records management front. In order to make the change official we need to change his position title, job description and his salary (it is really way too low as it is). Salary is key to a) keeping him and b) making the case to HR that he needs a salary increase. I will note that he has a BS in Psychology and no prior records management experience (except for pulling records and reorganizing the basement for me) so he will be learning on the job just as I am learning on the job.
I will mention that I did purchase the ARMA Job Descriptions for Records and Information Management and it seems like the duties we are looking for fall between a Senior Records Clerk and a Records Analyst. Also, in my own information gathering it appears that I keep running across the salary range of approximately $42k to $47k for this type of position but I'm not sure if that is accurate.
So, does anyone out there have any job descriptions and salary information to share for such a position? Has anyone ever converted a library job to a records management job?
