If approved, the measure requires any large hospitality business that accepts a tax rebate from the city to pay its workers a living wage. The measure says workers must be paid a minimum of $15 an hour starting Jan. 1, 2019, with salaries rising $1 an hour every Jan. 1 through 2022. Once the wages reach $18 an hour, annual raises would then be tied to the cost of living.
