In May of 2022, South Carolina passed the Employment First Initiative Act and the bill to end subminimum wage practices by August of 2024. Eliminating subminimum wage is possible! In this video, we hear from Laurens County Disability and Special Needs Board. They share their experience and thoughts on successfully ending sheltered workshops and implementing Employment First. They have changed their culture, and so can you! DSN providers have less than two years to end their subminimum wage contracts.
To help with your transition, we wanted to share with you DSN providers who are eliminating their subminimum wage work and prompting Employment First in the community. These providers are available to provide technical assistance and resources as you help to transition individuals out of subminimum wage. Contact Hire Me SC at hiremesc@able-sc.org for more information and to get connected.
Thank you to the South Carolina Developmental
Disabilities Council for funding this project.
