Title
Living Wage Annual Increase
Memorandum
As required by the City Ordinance, Chapter 23, Section 1:815 subsection (3), we have examined the federal poverty guidelines published by the US Department of Health and Human Services for 2008. We find that there is a 2.5% increase over last year.
Subsequently, the Living Wage for 2008 will be set at the following rate:
$10.84 For those employers paying health insurance
$12.56 For those employers NOT paying health insurance
We are in the process of notifying contractors and vendors currently in our database about this increase in required wages. This change will be effective April 30, 2008.
