What it Means to Pay Employees a Living Wage
VHMA Member Price: $59; Nonmember Price: $89
A living wage is not minimum wage, which basically meshes with federal poverty guidelines. A living wage is defined as the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet the cost of living in the area in which s/he lives. Many hospitals are interested in paying their employees a living wage because it can improve a worker’s quality of life and it demonstrates to staff and clients that the practice takes care of its employees. This session will focus on calculating a living wage and identifying strategies employers can take to reach that target number.
