<prompt> Human: Im working a temp job as a receptionist at a small doctors office one doctor, a couple PAs making 16hour. They told me yesterday that they want to bring me on. But, they are offering me 30,280year comes out to about 14.56hour. Ive worked through a temp agency before. But at the last place, I got a small pay increase when they brought me on. Is it common practice to decrease pay when transitioning a temp employee to permanent? Is it considered comparable because of the benefits of being a permanent worker health insurance, PTO, etc.? Should I try to ask for something closer to my current hourly pay? Ive never negotiated pay before, so I wouldnt even know how to start or what to say.Any help is appreciated. Thank you!  <response>: You can absolutely negotiate, but you may not get what youre asking for. That being said, at a minimum, ask yourself if you can even afford to take the offer they are giving you.
