Wage law still peril to jobs of disabled

The Arizona Republic

One of the Valley's largest work centers for people with disabilities is still up and running, and nearly 100 employees furloughed this year are back at work.

But the Centers for Habilitation, based in Tempe, is operating apprehensively.

If the Legislature doesn't step in before the session ends in a few weeks and create an exemption to the new state minimum wage law that allows lower wages to disabled employees, as many as 70 TCH workers could lose their jobs permanently. And in the meantime, the 40-year-old non-profit fears it could be vulnerable to lawsuits.
