Who can lawfully bank a Bay Area associate’s hours.

Current-posting layer · checked 13 September 2026

17 postings checked independently of the durable employer lists.

These rows can expire without changing the employer profile. The posting itself is the source; the profile link opens the full normalized record for caseload, productivity, paid documentation, supervision, benefits, differentials, loan forgiveness, checked date and closing date. Missing fields say not stated.

Compare the terms the postings actually state.

This view does not fill gaps with typical industry practice. An annualized number is shown only when published hours support the arithmetic; variable on-call hours are labeled as a maximum or left not stated.

Researched profiles · dated individually

Additional employers with their own associate evidence.

These rows go beyond legal eligibility: each organization published associate employment or an associate internship. A profile states the pay and supervision facts, including when either is unpaid or not stated.

The statute, in four rows

What decides whether an employer can bank your hours.

Universe one · the public system

The ten county plans — the employers that hire associates in volume.

County behavioral health runs Medi-Cal specialty mental health, staffs it substantially with pre-licensed clinicians, and publishes real salary ranges. Applications go through the county job portals; published pay is ranked on the county pay page, and the Bay Area’s own numbers are broken out on the associate pay page.

Universe two · the federal file

The 42 health-center organizations — where the hours can pay twice.

Federally designated health centers are both associate employers and the one enumerable category of Medi-Cal safety-net setting — the kind of workplace where an MBH-SLRP obligation can be completed. What that is worth, and to whom, is on the loan-forgiveness page. A row without a link means the address in the federal file did not answer when checked, not that the organization has no website.

Universe three · the long list

The 329 nonprofit clinical organizations.

Every active IRS-registered nonprofit in the core counties and Santa Cruz whose activity code is clinical mental health. The code is self-reported — treat a row as a lead to check, not a certification. Size is reported revenue; an organization reporting none is usually small or newly filed rather than inactive. The 24 largest carry links that were fetched before publication; the rest publish unlinked rather than guessed. A further 156 substance-use treatment organizations are a real clinical system too, and are deliberately not mixed into this table.

From the IRS Exempt Organizations master file, California extract, NTEE F30–F79 and F99, mapped to county through the Census ZCTA relationship file. Read 13 August 2026. The same universe serves the trainee directory; for an associate every row is open, for a trainee the private-practice rows of the market never were.

This page lists employers by category, not jobs. No organization here has told anyone it has work, group private practices cannot be listed from public data at all, and the files behind the tables change monthly. Verify the employment shape and the supervision arrangement with the employer and the statute before you act. Nothing here is legal or career advice.
