This wage scale was based on two separate outside studies of compensation in our industry. One was specific to nursing homes in Oregon and the other was a national compensation study from HCS Hospital and Healthcare Compensation Service. This scale was reviewed and approved by the VCCO board and the Oregon department of veterans' affairs (ODVA) in determining the maximum allowable compensation that would be paid by VCCO and reimbursed by ODVA as part of our contract. A portion of the compensation is performance based and each year on their anniversary, the board reviews their performance and documents their determination on bonuses.
