Meyer Wertheimer two jobs, triple the salary
The man who runs nonprofit organizations for the disabled in Kiryas Joel and the Monsey area of Rockland County made $452,000 in total compensation in 2004 - almost triple the pay of one industry peer with a much larger operation to run.
Meyer Wertheimer, executive director of Provider-Hamaspik of Orange County Inc. and Provider-Hamaspik of Rockland County Inc., collected $283,000 that year in separate salaries for the two organizations, which operate independently.
The other $169,000 spent that year on Wertheimer is less clearly defined. Federal tax forms classify it as "contributions to employee benefit plans & deferred compensation"; Wertheimer and someone claiming to speak for his board of directors in Kiryas Joel called it money set aside for retirement.
Wertheimer's total pay dwarfed the $158,000 earned that year by the executive director of Orange County AHRC, a similar nonprofit whose $26 million budget is double that of Hamaspik's Kiryas Joel and Monsey operations combined.
Wertheimer's nearest competitor among nonprofits for the developmentally disabled in this region appears to be James DeStefano, who earned $235,490 in 2004 to run Occupations Inc., a Middletown-based nonprofit that also takes in twice as much revenue as the two Hamaspiks.
Hamaspik runs group homes and provides other services for disabled children and adults in three Orthodox Jewish communities. It has no connection to the Kiryas Joel public school for students with mental and physical disabilities.
Hamaspik has separate nonprofits in Kiryas Joel, Monsey and Brooklyn. The Kiryas Joel chapter formed in 1988 and has its own board of directors. The Monsey and Brooklyn chapters, created in 1997, have virtually identical boards, with the exception that Wertheimer is listed as president of the Brooklyn board. The Brooklyn chapter has a different executive director.

$452,000....WHAT A SHYSTER! I work 70 hours a week as a corporate attorney and I don't make 1/5th of that...LAZY WELFARE SUCKING AUSVEURF BUMS!
Sorry you people are all wrong.
What do I care if he draws a salary of one million dollars as long as he bring help to all the helpless people. Do you know how many days, nights, weekends he is involved in these babies, kids, teenagers and even adults? I do not know one person who helped so many. I do not know him personally but I know many people who work for his different organizations inzerheim, shvesterheim, breederheim in Monroe. The amount of goverment help he helped organize is unbelieveable. People from all over the world send their kids and are totally happy and releived that their is somebody out there bringing their kids joy in life as well as all the help they need. Why doesn't somebody try to do this? This man is a genious if he would have any other business he would make millions.
