PORTLAND, Maine — MaineHealth recently announced that it is making a $61 million investment in its workforce by raising wages across its system, including setting a system-wide minimum wage for the organization of $17 per hour.

The wage increases will include a market adjustment to base wages of at least 2 percent for more than 18,000 eligible employees in non-executive, non-physician roles. There will also be significant additional market adjustments for a wide range of positions such as certified nurse assistants, medical assistants, registered nurses and many other hard-to-fill jobs. The system-wide minimum pay rate is going from $14 to $17 an hour at all MaineHealth facilities.
