Hourly wages in a nursing home?

What is the name of your state?Washington

I had been working full time at a job for 18 an hour and insurance benefits. I changed to on-call status and now have no insurance. They said that even though I have no insurance my hourly wages will remain 18 an hour. Don't most places give you more money per hour if you do not receive your insurance benefits? Thanks

No, they don't. In fact, this is rare. The only time additional pay is legally required when no benefits are offered is for prevailing wage jobs, which have to do with public works construction projects.

Although this is becoming more common, it is still, as Patty says, very much the exception rather than the rule. With the single exception that Patty mentions, this is not required by any Federal law or the law of any state - it is entirely up to the employer whether they wish to offer this benefit.
