Correct...a good average to use in calculating beneifts, or what most companies do for budgeting puposes is to multiply the annual salary by 1.3

In this case though, if she is part time, i dont know what benefits she would qualify for.

One other note...For her, this was a much bigger raise than 12k. The consulting firm she was working for was definitely getting a cut of her hourly wage.

With that in mind, I hope there are many more additional expectations of her new role...
