• Additional medical and behavioral shift differentials may apply
• Eligible employees may participate in DSP Apprenticeship wage increases and bonuses
• Additional organizational incentives may be available
• The PRN rate includes a $3.25-per-hour premium above our standard DSP starting wage. This premium applies while the employee remains in the PRN position.
