I have recently been promoted to a supervisory position and am now facing a bit of a quandary.

One of the people I supervise, who we pay a salary to, will be going on maternity leave. We've made the decision that we will be replacing her temporarily with a part time employee, who we will be paying by the hour, and who will have less responsibilities. I've been tasked with coming up with the hourly rate. Through research I've found out a fair starting salary rate. The problem is that the person we want to hire has several years worth of experience which we should compensate her for, and which we would like to include in our offer since our wage is likely going to be less than what she currently makes at another part time job. Are there rules of thumb about how to factor in this experience?
