Re: Re: benchmark data for pharmacy purchasing salaries
I guess it depends on the cost of living of the state that you work in. The pay for the buyers in my institute ranges from $66k/yr-$95k/yr salary ($32/hr-$44/hr).I hear HR is in the process of re-evaluating that payscale for technicians and pharmacists which may bump the pay buyers also. Currently, there are 4 levels of pharmacy technicians. Staff tech ($12/hr-$16/hr), Attending tech ($16/hr-$19/hr), Senior Attending tech ($19-$24), Lead tech ($25-$28). Although, we require to have 2.5 pharmacy buyers/inventory coord. and 2-3 inventory technicians, each person has their own resposibility. It's a very tough and challenging business to manage day to day, I feel that we should only be compensated accordingly!
