That would probably depend on where in the country you are.
Hourly or salary would there be benefits? If so what would be covered before the employee kicks in. How many hours a week?
Does this employee produce or are they on 101 all day?

OOPS forgot to ask what type of volume the shop does and how many total employees?
Also what do you mean by not a designer or wrap installer?
Are they just a table monkey? <no ill will intended by this job title - I was a table monkey for quite a while and still am at times
Sick days? Personal days? Vacation days?

nationwide i have seen entry level wages from minimum wage to $10 , where as $10 in some southern states brings in experienced help and on the west coast i couldnt find ppl to sweep my warehouse for $10 per hour.
i think the more important question is making sure that they are earning their keep (making you a profit) and if they are making you a significant profit, can work on their own, do good work ... heck i'd pay them just about anything they wanted.

From what you described.... I would imagine not a very high pay rate.
Around here.... in our shop.... that person would be between $10 to $12 an hour based on a 40 hour week.
Also, around here [Southeast PA].... no one starts much below $10 an hour in any field. Lotsa people out of work because they're too proud to work for $10 an hour, so I guess its all relative.

$8.50 an hour for table help, minor customer service
$8.00 an hour for post hole digger....meaning somebody who is just helping the guy who knows what he's doing.
$3.50 an hour as a business owner.

I had a girl that was a part timer. She did good work on the screen print side and could watch the printer and then cut, lam and coutour. Some things she didn't want to learn like color settings and setting up a screen press. Very effecient and I could trust her to stay busy. 8.00 an hour and a kicker at the end of some jobs that paid exceptional. All was well till she figured out what the shop was making per job then she started not being available as much then just quit showing up. I don't think she understood the concept of a business and the expenses involved

Honestly I can offer $15 an hour and get guys to leave the shops there in to come work here with no benefits.

People like this only see what is coming in and couldn't care less about what is going out. I've leaned out over the last year and work at capacity by my damn self.
Funny enough my monthly net has gone up because I'm not busy babysitting and don't have materials getting wasted/stolen while i'm not looking.
