(Wicked Local) Pay for youth employees in Brookline may soon go down, if a warrant article headed to Town Meeting next week passes.
The article, proposed by Recreation Department Director Lisa Paradis and Human Resources Director Sandra DeBow, would exempt more entry-level workers from getting Brookline’s “living wage” of roughly $13 an hour, and would seek to only pay them the state minimum wage, currently $9 an hour.
This change, if passed, would only affect about 30 employees in the Recreation Department, and would save the town about $40,000. Paradis argued that the savings would help the department sustain programming, as well as keep fees down.
