Lollipop people are being offered up to $56 an hour by councils who are desperate to recruit more workers amid a dire shortage.
The labor shortage has become so severe in Victoria, some recruitment agencies have resorted to paying workers double their typical wage.
Janie, who asked for her real name to not be used, confirmed she was being paid two hours worth of work for every hour she works in the City of Yarra in Melbourne meaning she takes home $56.28 for every hour worked.
She is one of several school crossing supervisors employed by Hoban Recruitment, an agency that recruits workers for eight councils in the region.
