The pay scale noted starts at $35 for client-facing hours, and increases at set, predictable, measurable intervals. The intended goal is to reach the upper range of the pay scale as soon as feasible, when the pre-defined benchmarks are met. Health insurance and dental insurance are also offered once enough weekly hours are worked for the employee to qualify (subject to a waiting and enrollment period).
