Anything he can do that generates at least $30/hr, so I can afford the building, equipment, software, supplies, utilities, pension, taxes, and insurance needed to employ the position.
As a minimum wage though you basically destroy any job that doesn't generate such a high level of profit.
Flat rate or pro-rated to the actual time spent running?
That's an admirable statement, but let me play the devil's advocate. What if all he's qualified for is pushing a broom or bussing tables?

What if he's only qualified to preform butt stuff?
USD?
