The law establishing a federal minimum wage was passed in 1938. However, it included a provision that allowed people with disabilities to be paid less than minimum wage. This provision was designed to persuade employers to hire people with disabilities. Instead, people with disabilities were often employed in sheltered workshops earning sub-minimum wage. 79 years later, the sub-minimum wage provision still exists. In 2016, nearly 250,000 people were legally paid less than the minimum wage, on average about $2 an hour.
“Bottom Dollars” is a documentary that explores this issue in detail through personal stories and expert interviews. The SCDD L.A. Office in partnership with the Self-Advocacy Board of Los Angeles County and the Southern California Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) will be hosting a screening of “Bottom Dollars” followed by a panel discussion on Monday, July 31, 2017 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the California Endowment, 1000 N.

California law and regulation requires that regional centers display on their Web sites information about the dollar value of services they purchase for clients. These data (called "purchase of service" or "POS" data) must be reported separately by clients' ethnic/racial group, langauge and diagnosis.
