The AFSCME schedule for the health care and rehabilitation services unit. It covers direct care and clinical support staff in state hospitals, developmental centres and veterans homes: nursing assistants, dental staff, therapists and emergency medical technicians. It is a shorter table than the CWA one, topping out well below the professional ranges.

Across the whole schedule, pay runs from $38,928 at the bottom of the lowest range to $87,764 at the top of the highest. Working from step 1 to the top step of the same range is worth between 43.5% and 45.8% depending on the range, before any across-the-board increase. A title's salary code is this ERG prefix followed by its range number, so H9 is a H title at range 9.
