The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Feb. 23, passed an urgency and temporary ordinance that requires larger grocery retail and drug retail stores located in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County to pay their employees no less than $5-per-hour hazard pay in addition to the employee’s base wage.
The new temporary “Hero Pay” Ordinance applies only to grocery stores, drug stores, or large retailers that sell groceries or drug products:
The Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs or DCBA will accept and investigate claims from workers of alleged violations of the ordinance, which will be in effect for 120 days beginning Feb. 26, 2021.
Workers must work at least two hours in a one-week period physically within a grocery retail or drug retail store in any unincorporated area of the County to be entitled to the new LA County “Hero Pay.”
If you are a worker or a business owner seeking more information about LA County’s new temporary “Hero Pay” Ordinance, contact DCBA:
