Measure CC — Initiative measure on increasing the minimum wage - California General Election Ballot - Measures & Voter Guide - November 8, 2016
— Minimum Wage - InitiativeOrdinance —
18,850 votes yes (34.69%)
35,490 votes no (65.31%)
Shall an ordinance: increasing the City's existing minimum wage to $15 per hour on October 1, 2017, with annual increases based on the CPI + 3% beginning January 1, 2019 until it reaches $16.37 per hour in 2016 dollars, and thereafter based on the CPI; eliminating exemptions for youth in job training programs; requiring that hospitality service charges be distributed to the employees who provide the services; and mandating paid sick leave for employees be adopted?
This measure was placed on the ballot by an initiative petition that was signed by registered voters equal in number to at least 5% of the number of votes cast in the City of Berkeley for Mayor in the last election at which a Mayor was elected.
The proposed measure would amend Berkeley’s existing minimum wage ordinance (Berkeley Municipal Code Chapter 13.99) in a number of respects.
It would increase the minimum wage as of October 1, 2017 to $15.00 per hour.
In addition, beginning in January 2019, the minimum wage would be increased by two cumulative factors.
The first would be an ongoing annual adjustment to increase the minimum wage by the same percentage as the increase in the consumer price index for the prior year.
The second would be an additional 3% annual increase until the minimum wage reaches the “Berkeley Living Wage Standard”. This amount is currently $16.81 per hour (consisting of a wage of $14.42 per hour plus a medical benefit equivalent to at least $2.39 per hour). The “Berkeley Living Wage Standard” is also increased annually by the increase in the consumer price index.
The measure would eliminate existing exemptions for job training participants up to 25 years of age in job training programs operated by nonprofit organizations or governmental agencies. The minimum wage for such programs would be increased to $12.00 per hour as of October 2017, and by beginning January 2019 by $1.50 per hour annually until it reached the minimum wage for other employees. After that, the minimum wage applicable to employees in job training programs would be the same as the minimum wage for other employees.
The measure would prohibit employers from reducing non-wage benefits such as pensions, vacations, or other non-wage benefits, or by increasing charges to employees.
This measure would also require employers to provide paid sick leave to all employees at the rate of 1 hour per every 30 hours worked. Employees would not accrue or be allowed to use sick leave until after 90 days of employment with the employer. The total amount of sick leave that could be accrued would be capped annually at 48 hours for businesses with less than 10 employees, and 72 hours for all other businesses. Accrued sick leave would carry over from year to year, subject to these 48-hour and 82-hour caps stated above. Sick leave could be used for family members, and spouses, domestic partners or other designated persons.

13.99.045 Paid Sick Leave
1. Paid Sick Leave shall begin to accrue on the ninetieth (90th) day following the
passage of this provision by voters. For Employees hired by an Employer after the date on which Paid Sick leave begins to accrue under this paragraph, Employees shall not be entitled to use Paid Sick Leave until after 90 calendar days of employment with the Employer.
3. For Employees of Small Businesses, there shall be a cap of 48 hours of accrued Paid Sick Leave. For Employees of other Employers, there shall be a cap of 72 hours of accrued Paid Sick Leave. Accrued Paid Sick Leave for Employees carries over from year to year (whether calendar year or fiscal year), but shall not exceed the aforementioned caps. Nothing herein precludes an Employer from establishing a higher cap or no cap on the number of accrued hours.
4. If an Employer has a paid leave policy, such as a paid time off policy, that makes available to Employees an amount of paid leave that may be used for the same purposes as Paid Sick Leave under this Chapter and that is sufficient to meet the requirements for accrued Paid Sick Leave as stated in subsections (A) and (B), the Employer is not required to provide additional Paid Sick Leave.
5. An Employer is not required to provide financial or other reimbursement to an Employee upon the Employee's termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation from employment, for accrued Paid Sick Leave that the Employee has not used.
6. The rate of pay shall be the Employee’s hourly wage. If the Employee in the 90 days of employment before taking accrued sick leave had different hourly pay rates, was paid by commission or piece rate, or was a nonexempt salaried Employee, then the rate of pay shall be calculated by dividing the Employee’s total wages, not including overtime premium pay, by the Employee’s total hours worked in the full pay periods of the prior 90 days of employment.
1. An Employee may use Paid Sick Leave not only when he or she is ill or injured or for the purpose of the Employee's receiving medical care, treatment, or diagnosis, as specified more fully in California Labor Code § 233(b)(4), but also to aid or care for the following persons when they are ill or injured or receiving medical care, treatment, or diagnosis: Child; parent; legal guardian or ward; sibling; grandparent; grandchild; and spouse, registered domestic partner under any state or local law, or designated person. The Employee may use all or any percentage of his or her Paid Sick Leave to aid or care for the aforementioned persons. The aforementioned child, parent, sibling, grandparent, and grandchild relationships include not only biological relationships but also relationships resulting from adoption; step-relationships; and foster care relationships. "Child" includes a child of a domestic partner and a child of a person standing in loco parentis.
2. If the Employee has no spouse or registered domestic partner, the Employee may designate one person as to whom the Employee may use paid sick leave to aid or care for the person. The opportunity to make such a designation shall be extended to the Employee no later than the date on which the Employee has worked 30 hours after Paid Sick Leave begins to accrue pursuant to this Chapter. There shall be a window of 10 work days for the Employee to make this designation. Thereafter, the opportunity to make such a designation, including the opportunity to change such a designation previously made, shall be extended to the Employee on an annual basis, with a window of 10 work days for the Employee to make the designation.
3. An Employer may not require, as a condition of an Employee's taking Paid Sick Leave, that the Employee search for or find a replacement worker to cover the hours during which the Employee is on Paid Sick Leave.
4. If the need for Paid Sick Leave is foreseeable, the Employee shall provide reasonable advance notification. If the need for Paid Sick Leave is unforeseeable, the Employee shall provide notice of the need for the leave as soon as practicable.
5. An Employer may lend Paid Sick Leave days to an Employee in advance of accrual, at the Employer’s discretion and with proper documentation.
6. An Employer may only take reasonable measures to verify or document that an Employee's use of Paid Sick Leave is lawful, and shall not require an Employee to incur expenses in excess of $5 in order to show his or her eligibility for such Paid Sick Leave.
7. An Employer shall provide payment for Paid Sick Leave taken by an Employee no later than the payday for the next regular payroll period after the Paid Sick Leave was taken.
8. No Employer may limit the accrual or use of Paid Sick Leave except as specified in this Chapter.
To the extent required by federal law, all or any portion of the applicable requirements of this Chapter may be waived in a bona fide collective bargaining agreement, provided that such waiver is explicitly set forth in such agreement in clear and unambiguous terms. (Ord. 7352-NS § 1 (part), 2014)
13.99.050 Hospitality Service Charges
A. Service Charges shall not be retained by the Hospitality Employer but shall be paid over in their entirety to the Hospitality Worker(s) performing services for the customers from whom Service Charges are to be collected. No part of these charges may be paid to supervisors except for any portion of their work time spent on nonsupervisory work serving these customers, and then at no higher rate of compensation than the average of what is paid other Hospitality Workers performing similar customer service. The Service Charges shall be distributed to the Hospitality Workers no later than the next payroll following the work or collection of the charge from the customer, whichever is later. Without limitation of the foregoing:
1. Service charges collected for banquets or catered meetings shall be paid to the Hospitality Workers who actually work the banquet or catered meeting;
2. Service charges collected for room service shall be paid to the Hospitality Workers who actually deliver food and beverage associated with the charge; and
3. Service charges collected for porterage service shall be paid to the Hospitality Workers who actually carry the baggage associated with the charge.
B. This section does not apply to any tip, gratuity, money, or part of any tip, gratuity, or money that has been paid or given to or left for a Hospitality Worker by customers over and above the actual amount due for services rendered or for goods, food, drink, or articles sold or served to the customer.
C. No Employer or agent thereof shall deduct any amount from wages due an Employee on account of a Service Charge, or require an Employee to credit the amount, or any part thereof, of a Service Charge against and as a part of the wages due the Employee from the Employer.
13.99.055 Waiver Through Collective Bargaining.

By November 1, 2018 and by November 1 of each year thereafter, the Department shall publish and make available to Employers a bulletin announcing the adjusted Minimum Wage rate, which shall take effect on January1 of the following year. In conjunction with this bulletin, the Department shall by the same dates specified above August 1 of each year publish and make available to Employers, in all languages spoken by more than five percent of the work force in the City, a notice suitable for posting by Employers in the workplace informing Employees of the current Minimum Wage rate and of all their rights under this Chapter.
B. Every Employer shall post in a conspicuous place at any workplace or job site in the City where any Employee works the notice published each year by the Department informing Employees of the current Minimum Wage rate and of their rights under this Chapter. Every Employer shall post such notices in any language spoken by at least five percent of the Employees at the work-place or job site. Every Employer shall also provide each Employee at the time of hire with the Employer’s name, address, and telephone number in writing. Failure to post such notice shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter.
C. Employers shall retain payroll records pertaining to Employees for a period of four years, and shall allow the City access to such records, with appropriate notice and at a mutually agreeable time, to monitor compliance with the requirements of this Chapter. Where an Employer does not maintain or retain adequate records documenting wages paid or does not allow the City reasonable access to such records, the Employee’s account of how much he or she was paid shall be presumed to be accurate, absent clear and convincing evidence otherwise. Furthermore, failure to maintain such records or to allow the City reasonable access shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter. Such payroll records shall include the amount of hours worked, wages paid, Paid Sick Leave accrued, and distributions of hospitality service charges.
D. If a violation of this Chapter has been finally determined, the City shall require the Employer to post public notice of the Employer’s failure to comply in a form determined by the City. Failure to post such notice shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter. (Ord. 7352-NS § 1 (part), 2014)
E. Reporting of Paid Sick Leave. Employers shall include the number of hours of Paid Sick Leave accrued to date in such records that they provide to Employees at the end of each pay period. Failure to provide such records shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter.
F. Reporting of Service Charges. Every Employer shall post a notice in a conspicuous place at any workplace or job site in the City where any Employee works explaining how Service Charges are distributed among Employees. Employers shall report the amount of money collected as Service Charges to Employees no later than the end of the pay period when they were collected. In order to ensure that the distribution of Service Charges is lawful, Employers shall, upon request by an Employee, make available their records of sales and associated Service Charges in a given pay period.
A. It shall be unlawful for an Employer or any other party to discriminate in any manner or take any adverse action (including action relating to any term, condition or privilege of employment) against any person in retaliation for exercising rights protected under this Chapter. Rights protected under this Chapter include, but are not limited to: the right to be paid the specified minimum wage; the right to accrue and use paid sick leave as specified; the right to receive a distribution of hospitality service charges as specified; the right to file a complaint or inform any person about any party’s alleged noncompliance with this Chapter; and the right to inform any person of his or her potential rights under this Chapter or otherwise educate any person about this Chapter or to assist him or her in asserting such rights.
B. No Employer may fund increases in compensation required by this Chapter, nor otherwise respond to the requirements of this Chapter, by reducing the compensation of any non- management Employee, nor by reducing the pension, vacation, or other non-wage benefits of any such Employees, nor by increasing charges to them for parking, meals, uniforms or other items. If an Employer makes such adverse changes after the filing of the notice to circulate the petition giving rise to this Chapter but before this Chapter has become effective, then upon this Chapter's effective date, such Employer shall restore the conditions of the status quo ante.
C. Protections of this Chapter shall apply to any person who mistakenly, but in good faith, alleges noncompliance with this Chapter. Taking Evidence that an Employer has taken adverse action against a person within ninety (90) days of the person’s exercise of rights protected under this Chapter shall raise a rebuttable presumption that the Employer’s action was retaliatory of having done so in retaliation for the exercise of such rights. “Presumption,” as used in this section, means that a trier of fact must find the existence of the fact presumed unless and until evidence is introduced which would support a finding of its nonexistence. Failure to comply with this provision shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter. (Ord. 7352-NS § 1 (part), 2014)
A. Guidelines. The Department shall be authorized to coordinate implementation and enforcement of this Chapter and may shall promulgate appropriate guidelines or rules for such purposes within 90 days of the date on which this Chapter becomes effective. The Department shall seek out partnerships with community-based organizations and collaborate with the Berkeley Labor Commission on Labor to facilitate effective implementation and enforcement of this Chapter. Any guidelines or rules promulgated by the Department shall have the force and effect of law and may be relied on by Employers, Employees and other parties to determine their rights and responsibilities under this Chapter. Any guidelines or rules may establish procedures for ensuring fair, efficient and cost-effective implementation of this Chapter, including supplementary procedures for helping to inform Employees of their rights under this Chapter, for monitoring Employer compliance with this Chapter, and for providing administrative hearings to determine whether an Employer or other person has violated the requirements of this Chapter.
B. Reporting Violations. An Employee or any other person may report to the Department in writing any suspected violation of this Chapter. The Department shall encourage reporting pursuant to this subsection by keeping confidential, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, the name and other identifying information of the Employee or person reporting the violation. Provided, however, that with the authorization of such person, the Department may disclose his or her name and identifying information as necessary to enforce this Chapter or other Employee protection laws. In order to further encourage reporting by Employees, if the Department notifies an Employer that the Department is investigating a complaint, the Department shall require the Employer to post or otherwise notify its Employees that the Department is conducting an investigation, using a form provided by the Department. Failure to post such notice shall render the Employer subject to administrative citation, pursuant to Section 90, Subsection A, of this Chapter.
D. Informal Resolution. The Department shall make every effort to resolve complaints informally, in a timely manner, and shall have a policy that the Department shall take no more than six months to resolve any matter, before initiating an enforcement action. The failure of the Department to meet these timelines within six months shall not be grounds for closure or dismissal of the complaint. (Ord. 7352-NS § 1 (part), 2014)
