August 11, 2021
KANKAKEE, IL (August 11, 2021) - Riverside Healthcare has raised the minimum starting rate for all positions to $15 per hour.
The change comes in advance of any state or national minimum wage increase requirements, and has been instituted as a pro-active attempt to retain and recruit talent, while providing a wage that reflects the changing economic environment. Current staff salaries will also be increased appropriately to reflect this rate increase.
“As an organization, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding care,” said Riverside President and CEO Phil Kambic. “Maintaining a competitive wage structure throughout the system is one way to help us hire outstanding people and make sure our patients continue to get the care to which they have become accustomed.”
Riverside Healthcare has and will continue to participate in several salary surveys each year to ensure our compensation remains competitive within the healthcare market as well as with similar roles in competing industries in the region.
