YORK– WellSpan Health has implemented its new organizational minimum wage of $17 per hour and will now begin paying a weekend differential of 10 percent to team members in hourly roles who choose to work weekends in support of patient care and operational needs.
The new internal minimum wage paid by WellSpan, a top healthcare employer regionally and nationally, became effective on July 2, 2023. The new weekend differential goes into effect on July 30, 2023.
“We continue to make investments in our most important resource – our 20,000 team members who provide and support high-quality, compassionate care provided to our patients each and every day,” said Bob Batory, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, WellSpan Health. “Our newly implemented organizational minimum wage and our weekend differential are part of our ongoing commitment to being the healthcare employer of choice in South Central Pennsylvania.”
The minimum wage increase is the latest update to a multi-year strategy to lead regional healthcare organizations by raising the rate, which will now be nearly $10 above the federally mandated minimum wage.
Similar to the last time WellSpan raised the minimum wage in 2021, the organization is enacting associated increases for many team members who currently make slightly above the new minimum, as well.
