The Seattle Minimum Wage Ordinance sets rules for how much employers must pay employees in Seattle, aiming to ensure fair wages. It requires employers to pay at least the city’s minimum wage, which varies based on employer size and benefits offered. Larger employers generally must pay higher wages, and if employers provide health benefits or tips, the required minimum might be reduced. The ordinance also establishes procedures for wage adjustments and compliance monitoring. Overall, it seeks to promote fair pay for workers while allowing flexibility based on employer circumstances.
