I just accepted my first home health position and the contract shows I'll earn 30% less than agreed upon for my entire 90-day probation. Nobody told me this during interviews or negotiations! I'm checking with my hiring manager but she hasn't responded yet. Is this type of pay decrease during probation typical? Should I be concerned about other surprises?

I have to assume this is Maxim Home Healthcare. They tried this with me. They are NOT the ones who trained you. You went to school, obtaining a license. They justify it as "training pay". These places need to be outted for this practice and driven from the business like the rats they are. They want to make money for those in suits and dresses, and not the ones doing rhe back breaking work. I would put my paycheck on it that they have never performed any type of work in this setting. Those that do have been the ones burying their noses up management's back side. I don't sugar coat anything. This is the cold hard truth. Avoid these places at all costs. Review them for what their true practices are. ​We nurses deserve more pay, PERIOD. There is way too much fat at the top of these organizations. Time for liposuction!

That doesn’t sound typical to me at all. I’ve done home health for a while and probation usually just means closer supervision, not a pay cut. I’d definitely press for a clear answer before your start date.

It shouldn’t be! That is not alright to be told one thing and then another happens. Whether it’s pay or responsibilities, huge red flag for what else they could be up to. Hoping they get back to you with a lot of clarification.

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
