It is AIM’s philosophy to provide employees with pay rates that are comparable with similar positions in the community, based on available funding. Employees are assigned a pay rate at time of hire. Employees may receive wage increases, including merit increases, when it is financially feasible for the agency to do so.
For self-hired staff under the Self-Direction co-employment model, the person receiving services will determine rates of pay for their staff within the allowable parameters established by the Self-Direction guidance, the person's budget, and AIM Services, Inc. For self-hired staff, the Notice of Employment (NOE) will clearly identify the established rate of pay for each person the staff is supporting.
