Mental Health Employees Rate of Pay

10/02/06

QUESTION:  Is there a statue that states that Mental Health employees must make at least $9.00 per hour? And if so what is the statue and where can I locate this statue.

ANSWER:  "Minimum wage is $5.15/hour, governed by the Federal law. There is no separate Federal or State law or statute governing mental health workers.

The writer of this question may be referring to a reclassification of group home employees at Pathways, approximately 5-6 years ago. The State reclassified paraprofessional positions in group home settings, giving area programs the option to do the same. The classification was "habilitation aides" and several Pathways staff received increases in pay because we followed the state's reclassification. The minimum suggested by the State was $9.00 per hour. This reclassification applies only to positions under the Office of State Personnel jurisdiction and does not apply to positions working for non-LME providers."
