Beginning students normally start at a "training wage," i.e. the current Maryland State minimum wage. The supervisor determines when the student has completed training. After a minimum of four (4) weeks from hire, the supervisor certifies to the Payroll Preparer in writing that the student's training is complete and the student's wage should be raised to the basic wage. Students starting in or promoted to higher wage categories receive all wage increases on the normal schedule, following semester evaluations.
