Additionally, the bill amends the Living Wage Act of 2006 to establish new minimum wage rates, effective January 1, 2025, at $17.50 per hour, increasing to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025, for contractors and recipients of government assistance valued at $100,000 or more. Exemptions are provided for certain contracts and employee categories, and the bill outlines the responsibilities of contractors regarding wage compliance and record-keeping. The changes aim to ensure fair compensation across various occupations, reflecting current labor market conditions and supporting the financial well-being of workers in the District.
