The Living Wage Ordinance (LWO) was adopted by the City of San Diego in 2005 and requires covered employers to provide specific wage rates and benefits to workers who perform services on applicable service contracts, financial assistance agreements or facility agreements with the goal of keeping workers and their families out of poverty.
The City of San Diego's Earned Sick Leave and Minimum Wage Ordinance became effective on July 11, 2016. It is applicable to employees who perform at least two (2) hours of work in one or more calendar weeks of the year within the geographic boundaries of San Diego.
The Prevailing Wage Ordinance requires all City-funded contracts and task orders awarded, entered into, or extended on or after Jan. 1, 2014, to comply with California Labor Code sections 1770-1781.
