benefits under this Chapter as to such employee. Premiums charged the employee for benefits may not be credited towards the minimum compensation requirement. If the P AB contributes towards health benefits on some basis other than hourly payments, and the P AB wishes such contributions credited, then the P AB shall provide the City Manager with sufficient data to estimate the hourly value of such health benefit contributions. For example, if the P AB produces data showing it spends $450 per month per employee, the City Manager will divide that sum by the number of hours worked by full-time workers in an ordinary month (173.3) and thus estimate the hourly value of such benefit contributions as $2.60 per hour. In order to obtain the benefit credit the P AB shall have the option of paying for employee medical expenses out of its general assets rather than through a segregated fund or plan. 1-15-310 Cost of Living Adjustments Beginning one year after the effective date of this Chapter, the minimum cash wage above and the health benefit credit above shall both be upwardly adjusted annually, no later than April 1 st, in proportion to the increase as of the preceding December 31 st over the prior year in the Bay Region's Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and health expenditure portion of such index. The City shall publish a bulletin by March 1 st of each year announcing the adjusted rates, which shall take effect 30 days from such publication. Such bulletin will be distributed to all P ABs covered by this and to any other person who has filed with the City a request to receive such notice. A P AB shall provide written notification of the rate adjustments to each of its Employees and to its covered tenants, contractors and . subcontractors, who shall provide written notices to each of their Employees and make the necessary payroll adjustments by July 1 following the City's notice of the adjustment. 1-15-315 Prevailing Wage for Janitorial Employees If the prevailing wage for janitors posted by the State Department of Industrial Relations (or any successor agency) exceeds the compensation required by the foregoing provisions, then the P AB shall pay its janitors the posted prevailing wage. ARTICLE 4. OTHER MINIMUM STANDARDS 1-15-400 Notification of Earned Income Credit Each PAB shall inform each Employee who makes less than twelve dollars ($12.00) per hour in wages of his or her possible right to the federal Earned Income Credit (IBlC") under Section 2 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954,26 U.S.C. ~32, and shall make available the forms required to secure advance EIC payments from the business. These forms shall be provided to the eligible Employees in English (and other languages spoken by a significant number of such Employees) within thirty (30) days of employment under this Chapter and as required by the Internal Revenue Code. 3
