Come the new year, Sunnyvale employees making the minimum wage will be getting a boost.
The Sunnyvale City Council voted Oct. 14 to introduce an ordinance that requires Sunnyvale employers to pay a minimum wage of $10.30 per hour starting Jan. 1.
Following in the footsteps of San Jose and Mountain View, the Sunnyvale ordinance will include an annual adjustment to the minimum wage on Jan. 1 of every year, based on the prior year’s Consumer Price Index.
The final vote was 6-1 with Council Dave Whittum dissenting.
The council also voted to include a resolution to work with the city of Mountain View on a regional $15 an hour minimum wage by 2018.
