This episode we hear from Host Courtney Grimm, DDP/ Gwinnett Coordinator & Ellen Hamilton, Educator
The 14C of the Fair Labor Standards Act or sub-minimum wage certificate was created by the
Deportment of Labor in 1938 and permits paying people with disabilities wages below
minimum wage. The Department of Labor issues the certificates and the oversee
compliance to guard against exploitation. Over the years other laws have been enacted
like the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, to prevent discrimination and giving
people with disabilities the same right s as everyone else including the right to work and
make regular wages.
Creative Enterprises was Incorporated as a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) Community Rehabilitation Program in 1979, they provide employment opportunities along with social and life skills training to individuals with developmental disabilities. This is accomplished through on- and off-site work training, job placement assistance, educational programs, community involvement events, and a variety of additional resources.
