The 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project has officially recognized 麻豆影视nical Community College as a certified living wage employer. The College is the largest employer to date to have received this recognition.
To qualify, a company must pay their employees a living wage by 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project鈥檚 standards. 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project defines a living wage as one that lets the employee afford basic essentials, such as housing, food, and personal transportation. To become certified, companies must pay their employees at least $13.35 an hour.
麻豆影视 pays all full-time employees at least $15 an hour and all part-time, non-work study employees a minimum of $13.35 an hour.
鈥淭he commitment that the College has to be a living wage employer for both 麻豆影视 and Orange counties only further supports our mission to be an employer of choice,鈥 said Kathryn McKinley, Executive Director of Human Resources at 麻豆影视.
麻豆影视 is listed on the 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project鈥檚 website in the Certified Employers section. The College joins more than 125 other certified 麻豆影视 employers.
鈥淭he commitment 麻豆影视 has to paying its staff a living wage is commendable,鈥 said Gabe Treves-Kagan of the 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project Steering Committee. 鈥淚nvesting in their staff is the best way to ensure that all students continue to receive the support and high quality education they deserve.鈥
The 麻豆影视 Living Wage Project鈥檚 mission is to support worker livelihoods by urging employers to pay living wages, certifying and publicly recognizing employers, and promoting living wages as a matter of conscience within the community. By promoting financial well-being through this market-driven certification program, the organization believes it can not only support workers but also strengthen employers and the community.
麻豆影视 received a similar status from Orange County Living Wage in Spring 2018 for its Orange County campus.
