Pay Scale

We believe in paying employees fairly for doing work of comparable character in line with the Oregon Equal Pay Act, and we’ve implemented an internal pay scale system based on hours worked. 

This position is part of our internal pay scale, which means for every 1040 hours you work, you’ll move to the next level in pay until you reach the maximum of the scale – we call that “Journeyman.” Pretty cool, huh?

Reaching Journeyman is a big deal around here! Yes, it means you’ve reached the top of the pay scale – yay! It also means you’re someone we rely on to go the extra mile. You’re now that person who asks others how you can help, sees areas where you can help without needing to be asked, and the “go-to” person for new employees. We look forward to seeing you reach that goal.
