Raise minimum wage to $15 per hour by January 2019
In Plain English
The city currently requires employers to pay at least $13.41 per hour starting January 2018. This change accelerates the timeline to reach $15 per hour by January 2019 instead of a longer phase-in period. The law also removes exemptions that allowed some employers to pay less than minimum wage.
