(Yes/No) Yes <br /> If yes, is this agency an Orange County Living Wage Certified Employer? Yes <br /> If no, please explain. <br /> A Helping Hand provides living wage salaries for our Administrative Staff. Paid <br /> companions are compensated on a scale that starts at $8.50 and increases to <br /> $13.00 based on time with the agency and background. Additionally, certain shifts <br /> depending on factors including the time of day and length, pay at higher `rates'. <br /> Companions are also reimbursed .54 per mile for transporting clients as well as <br /> commutes over 10 miles one way and mileage in between clients. <br /> When AHH companions are working with Orange County clients, we pay those <br /> companions the living wage rate calculated and required by Orange County. <br /> We are a progressive organization that is actively working with our own Board of <br /> Directors to increase wages within the next 5 years. We are also working with <br /> colleagues in this industry to find care models that would support such an increase <br /> in salary without passing that cost directly on to the clients, who pay for this service <br /> largely out of pocket. <br /> Agency Information 1/31/2017 3:19:07 PM <br />
