Do the individuals working in the Site-Based Program get paid, and how much is the pay?
Yes, all of the individuals enrolled in the program are paid for the work that is completed. Under a Special Wage Certificate through the Department of Labor, the individual is paid on a “piece rate” basis. Simply stated, each person gets paid the same unit rate, but will earn a different amount based on the number of units completed. This process is monitored by the Department of Labor based on time studies of the task and prevailing wages in this geographic area. Each job may have a different unit rate based on the number of steps and complexity of the steps. The individual is trained to complete as many units as their skills will allow, while others may require the assistance of staff to complete each unit. Pay may vary from under a hundred dollars to several hundred dollars a month. Payday is the last working day of the month.
