Living Wage Ordinance A. Not-for-Profit Corporations: If you are a corporation having federal tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are recognized under Illinois not-for-profit law, then the provisions of Sections B through F below do not apply. B. Section 2-92-610 of the Municipal Code provides for a living wage for certain categories of workers employed in the performance of City contracts, specifically non-City employed security guards, parking attendants, day laborers, home and health care workers, cashiers, elevator operators, custodial workers and clerical workers ("Covered Employees"). C. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2-92-610 and regulations promulgated under it: i. If you have 25 or more full-time employees, and ii. If at any time during the performance of this Agreement, you and/or any subcontractor or any other entity that provides any portion of the Services (collectively "Performing Parties") uses 25 or more full-time security guards, or any number of other full-time Covered Employees, then iii. You must pay your Covered Employees, and must assure that all other Performing Parties pay their Covered Employees, not less than the minimum hourly rate as determined in accordance with this provision (the "Base Wage") for all Services performed under this Agreement. D. Your obligation to pay, and to assure payment of, the Base Wage will begin at any time during the Term when the conditions set forth in C.i. and C.ii. above are met, and will continue until the end of the Term. E. As of July 1, 2014, the Base Wage became $11.93 per hour, and each July 1 thereafter, the Base Wage will be adjusted, using the most recent federal poverty guidelines for a family of four as published annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to constitute the following: the poverty guidelines for a family of four divided by 2000 hours or the current base wage, whichever is higher. At all times during the Term, you and all other Performing Parties must pay the Base Wage (as adjusted in accordance with the above). If the payment of prevailing wages is required for Services done under this Agreement, and the prevailing wages for Covered Employees are higher than the Base Wage, then you and all other Performing Parties must pay the prevailing wage rates. F. You must include provisions in all subcontracts requiring your subcontractors to pay the Base Wage to Covered Employees. You must provide the City with documentation acceptable to the Chief Procurement Officer demonstrating that all Covered Employees, whether employed by you or by a subcontractor, have been paid the Base Wage, upon the City’s request for such documentation. The City may independently audit you and/or subcontractors to verify compliance with this section. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section will be an event of default under this Agreement, and further, failure to comply may result in ineligibility for any award of a City contract or subcontract for up to 3 years.
