Corpsmembers start out at $8.00 an hour. For those at residential centers, there is a $300 monthly deduction for room and board.

After completing 900 paid hours, corpsmembers receive a $100 cash bonus; after 1500 hours, they receive an additional $200. Members of the CCC receive vacation and sick leave which accrues along with their time in the Corps.

Those who become crewleaders and specialists receive increases in their hourly pay rate.
