In August we reported that the City of New Orleans had passed a “Living Wage” ordinance requiring city contractors and grant recipients to pay their employees a minimum wage of $10.55 per hour. The new law also requires covered employers to provide employees with a minimum of seven paid sick days per year. The New Orleans “Living Wage” law went into effect on January 1, 2016.
