Summary Explanation/Background
The County Administrator proposes amending the Living Wage Ordinance, effective December 31, 2022, as follows:
The living wage for new contracts entered on or after January 1, 2023, would be at least $15.00 per hour ($17.17 per hour for security services officers) if the covered employer provides health care benefits. If the covered employer does not provide health care benefits, the living wage must include an additional health care benefit amount (currently $3.54 per hour). Both the hourly wage and the health care benefit amount would be adjusted annually, with the first health care amount adjustment occurring on January 1, 2023, and the first hourly wage rate adjustment occurring on January 1, 2024.
