Butler
The British style Butler is often in
uniform and primarily charged with managing the household staff,
reception of guests, serving of refreshments and meals, maintaining the
fine silver and china, the valet of the employers clothing and various
other duties. The Butler reflects a formal image. Generally duties would
not include cooking and cleaning duties other than as trainer or fill
in...
The current perception of the USA Butler
combines the duties of the Household Manager with a more formal attitude
and mindset of the formal Butler. As with the House Manager job
definition, there is a wide range in the actual job duties depending on
the particular residence and also on the quality, experience and skill
of the individual providing Butler service.
Salaries can vary greatly. The classic
Butler who has executive level management skills, excellent job history
and who can portray a wonderful service personality can achieve salaries
of $80,000 and up. The USA Butler salaries would track the figures given
above for Household Manager.
