There are several positions identified under the Salary Ordinance 22-51 that will be affected by this change. As such, we are required by law to raise the pay of positions paid at the minimum wage level to meet the new rate of$12.00 per hour effective October 1, 2022 I Furthermore, as the affected positions are primarily the Student Helper I,we are recommending increasing the pay for the Student Helper 11 level,which has historically been $.50 higher than the Student Helper I. Due to the pressing need to implement the mandated changes by October 1, 2022, we are requesting that this amendment be waived from the Committee on j Finance and placed on the full Council agenda at the earliest possible time.
