What are some exceptions to the Living Wage Ordinance?
Some employees are not covered by the Living Wage Ordinance. In most cases, part-time and seasonal employees under 18 years of age, students in work-study or internship programs, unpaid volunteers, and trainees undergoing a six-month or less training program are not covered by the LWO. Additionally, those employed through a governmentally funded vocational rehabilitation program or under common construction wage laws are not covered by the LWO. Finally, those exempted under Section 14(c) of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act due to his or her disabilities are also not covered under the LWO.
