$32/hr wage as 1st year CA. Monthly guarantee is 75 hours. 75 x $32 = $2400/mo gross. Maybe you have 200 hours of per diem for the month paid at $1.45. 200 x 1.45 = $290. $2400 + $290 = $2690 gross for the month. Minus $300 for training payment. $2390.
AWESOME PAY! And that is before Gov't takes 20%. so now you have ~$1912
