Living Wage Policy

project
4 mentions across 4 events
The Living Wage Policy is a City of Dallas procurement policy adopted by City Council resolution that establishes a minimum hourly wage floor for employees of suppliers performing competitively solicited general service contracts above a set threshold. The wage floor is tied to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator figure for Dallas County and is reviewed and adjusted on an annual basis, with contractors required to submit a living wage affidavit through the Office of Procurement Services. It applies to labor-based service contracts such as janitorial, landscaping, security, maintenance, and administrative support work performed on behalf of the City, and has been the subject of ongoing City Council deliberation over its formula and budgetary impact.
