citizensmemorial.com 5 CMH/CMH Foundation make wage adjustments Citizens Memorial Hospital/Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation established a new minimum wage of $12.65 starting November 2021. The multimilliondollar investment in wages for CMH/CMH Foundation employees was on top of the merit increases employees received in October. The new rates are designed to be market competitive after applying experience factors. These changes also increased the pay ceilings for many positions across the organization and allow for greater opportunities of future wage improvements. All individuals’ pay rates were reviewed and rate increases were applied for positions that were below market competitiveness. Almost 70% of CMH employees received a portion of this market adjustment. In addition to the new base rate increases, CMH implemented revised salary schedules for applicants/ new hires that included credit for prior work experience up to 3% per year of experience (10 years max credit). The change allows CMH to be more competitive with wages by giving credit for relevant work experience. CMH continues to provide free health and dental insurance options to full-time employees, an employerpaid term life insurance policy, matched savings plan and profit-sharing plan, employee health and wellness program, and paid time off. Additionally, employees receive at no cost group long-term disability coverage after one year of employment.
