YouH appreciate the Lincoln chapter starts campaign for work training Mayor Bill Harris has proclaimed the start of a new, multiyear information and action campaign by the American Society for Training and Development The campaign, known as Train America's Workforce Put Quality to Work, was launched from Washington D.C and seeks to make workplace training a national priority by raising awareness. Marilyn Harris, president of the organization's Lincoln chapter, said technological advances make jobs more complex. She said formal and informal workplace training amounts to a $210 billion industry.

SECURITY 43 JS been provided for people with mental retardation in the past," Merrill said. "In group homes across the country, it has been the practice to deduct time while staff were sleeping and pay them for the time they're up. There are a lot of people involved.

My concern is that if we're going to change something like that, the back wages just become an even greater liability and win affect future services." Merrill said that if Region loses on appeal he is not sure where the money will come from to pay the back wages. It might come out of Region Vs general operations budget, 80 percent of which is used for salaries and benefits, he said, and "that means that it affects the amount of money we have to pay people, or the amount of staff we have per client" Merrffl said that if Region loses its appeal, he may ask the Legislature to consider paying the back wages and financing what the group homes would be required to pay for sleep time. -In November, Region began paying its employees for every hour spent in its facilities. To do so, it reduced salaries to the minimum wage and began paying time and a half for more than 40 hours of work. The result was an average pay increase between $1,000 and $2,000 per employee, Merrill said.

"It's a massive situation and it's the people with mental retardation that pay in the long run, in terms of money for current services to go to pay for back wages," Merrill said.
