Tucson's Living Wage Ordinance under Chapter 7 requires city contractors and subcontractors to pay employees a living wage above the Arizona minimum, applying to many service contracts including hotel-related work.
Tucson's Living Wage Ordinance (Ch. 7) covers employees of contractors and subcontractors performing certain city service contracts. Covered employers must pay an hourly living wage that is annually adjusted, typically several dollars above the Arizona minimum wage, with a lower rate when health benefits are provided. The ordinance applies to contracts above a defined dollar threshold and to work performed in Tucson. Hotel and hospitality employers serving city contracts (such as conference and travel services) can fall under the rule. Enforcement and posting requirements are administered by the Tucson Procurement Department.
Failing to pay the required living wage, retaliating against employees who assert rights, or omitting required postings can result in contract termination, debarment from future city contracts, and civil penalties.
