Main Line Health Increases Minimum Wage Systemwide

BRYN MAWR, PA — Starting in January this year, Main Line Health is giving its minimum wage employees more than the mandated minimum.

Main Line Health announced to their employees earlier this month that effective January 2019, it will increase its minimum wage to $15 an hour for all employees across the health system, including full-time, part-time and per diem employees.

The increase will benefit more than 1,200 employees working in the Main Line Health network.

Pennsylvania’s last minimum wage increase was in 2009, setting the current rate at $7.25 an hour.

While Main Line Health has always offered competitive wages, the decision was made to increase minimum wage to $15 an hour systemwide.

Not only are minimum wager workers getting the bump, pay hikes were given to employees who were already earning salaries near $15 an hour to ensure internal equity.

"Main Line Health is dedicated to offering fair and equitable compensation to our employees," said Jack Lynch, President & CEO, Main Line Health. "We are proud to join many of our industry peers across the region in providing this pay increase to our staff. Every employee across the System has a critical role within the organization, and this helps us to demonstrate how much we value what each member of the team brings to the overall patient experience. This increase in pay aligns with our mission of improving the quality of life in the communities we serve.”
