Miami-Dade's Living Wage Ordinance (Chapter 2 §2-8.9, enacted 1999 as the first U.S. county living-wage law) requires direct county service contractors and airport and port concessionaires to pay above the state minimum, with rates indexed annually by the Inspector General.
Miami-Dade Code Section 2-8.9 covers service contractors and subcontractors providing covered services to the county on contracts above $100,000, plus concessionaires at Miami International Airport and PortMiami. The ordinance requires either a higher hourly wage with health benefits or a still-higher cash-only rate, both reset each October. Hotels receiving county tourism subsidies have at times been swept in. Workers may file complaints with the Office of the Inspector General. Note this is narrower than a citywide minimum wage: it applies only to firms holding county contracts or operating on county property.
Underpayment requires back wages plus liquidated damages. Repeat violations can trigger contract debarment and ineligibility to bid on county work for up to three years.
