Competitive Wages
The Johns Hopkins Hospital is committed to offering all of its employees:
- a competitive salary
- a comprehensive and affordable benefits package
- opportunities for skills enhancement
- training opportunities
- the opportunity for career advancement
- a safe workplace
- stable employment
Already, The Johns Hopkins Hospital pays more to employees covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement at Hopkins than the minimum Baltimore City wage set by Mayor Martin O’Malley, and has added a rich benefits package to the wages.
- The lowest wage paid to any employee covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement at Hopkins is $8.80/hour plus benefits once employees complete their first 90 days. The minimum Baltimore City wage declared by Mayor O’Malley is $8.70/hour. Some highly skilled workers covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement are paid as much as $22.75/hour.
Not only is Hopkins above the minimum wage set by Mayor O’Malley, it also provides a rich benefits package, though not required to do so. In addition to the base hourly rate, each worker receives an additional 21% of that rate in the form of benefits.
A comparison of wages for most of the Hopkins positions held by Union members compared with the Baltimore Living Wage, the Market Average, and the Prevailing Wage dispels the myth that Hopkins pays its employees low wages.
