(f) Subcontractors and sub lessees of any of the entities or persons described in subparagraphs (a) through (e) above. Section 7.

For health benefits to be counted as a part of the living wage, the benefit must be at least $1.50 per hour.

(b) Time-off: Employees shall be entitled to at least twenty-two (22) days off per year for sick leave, vacation, or personal necessity. At least twelve (12) of the required days off shall be compensated at the same rate as regular compensation for a normal working day. Ten (10) of the required 22 days may be uncompensated days off. Employees who work part-time shall be entitled to accrue compensated days off in increments proportional to that accrued by full-time employees. Employees shall be eligible to use accrued days off after the first six (6) months of satisfactory employment or consistent with employer policy, whichever is sooner. Paid holidays, consistent with established employer policy, may be counted toward provision of the required 12 compensated days off. (c) Additional Compensation Permissible. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit an employer's discretion to provide greater wages to its employees. (d) The initial rates set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall increase annually on July 15\ beginning July 1, 2008, to reflect the 12 month average in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Metropolitan Statistical Areas for the preceding year from May through April. (e) If the prevailing wage for services oocupations are posted by the State Department of Industrial Relations (or any successor agency) and exceeds the compensation required by the living wage, then the contractor is required to pay its employees the posted prevailing wage. (f) The City Council may periodically adjust the living wage rate up or down to reflect average living wage rates in effect in other Alameda County cities. ORDINANCE NO. 2007-018 5
