Hartford Municipal Code chapter 22 section 22-101 requires city service contractors and recipients of significant city financial assistance to pay employees a living wage exceeding the Connecticut state minimum, including hotel project beneficiaries.
Hartford Municipal Code chapter 22 section 22-101, the Hartford Living Wage Ordinance, requires that city service contractors valued above defined thresholds and recipients of significant financial assistance from the city pay covered employees a living wage indexed annually. The ordinance applies to many development projects including hotel construction or rehabilitation that received city tax abatements, bond assistance, or land disposition. The wage rate is set by the Hartford Court of Common Council and typically exceeds the Connecticut state minimum of $16.35 per hour set by CGS section 31-58. Covered employers must post the rate, file annual compliance reports, and allow city audits. Whistleblower protections shield workers reporting violations.
Paying below living wage rate, no annual compliance report, refusing audit, retaliating against complainant, miscategorizing covered worker, no posted notice.
