Title
ADD-ON - Phoenix Healthy Tourism and Hospitality Measures - Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for Tourism and Hospitality Workers (Ordinance G-6720)
Description
Vice Mayor Betty Guardado and Council members Laura Pastor and Carlos Garcia requested the City Manager place an item (Attachment A) to "add the three attached Phoenix Healthy Tourism and Hospitality ordinances (Attachment B), which propose amendments to the City Code, to the Formal Council Meeting agenda on July 1, 2020." This complies with the Rules of Council Proceedings, Council Rule 2c, regarding placement of items on an agenda.
Since the three ordinances are G-ordinances amending the City Code, the CIty Code requires the items to be listed as separate items. Item 73 has been renumbered as Item 73.1, Ordinance G-6719, Right of Recall for Tourism and Hospitality Workers; Item 73.2, Ordinance G-6720, Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for Tourism and Hospitality Workers; and Item 73.3, Ordinance G-6721, Public Hygiene and Handwashing for Tourism and Hospitality Workers.
This item, Item 73.2, Ordinance G-6720, Supplemental Paid Sick Leave for Tourism and Hospitality Workers, amends the City Code by adding new sections to new Chapter 17, Business and Wage Regulation, to require the hospitality employers not already covered by the provisions for expanded paid sick leave under the Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), to make available to each hospitality worker in its employ 80 hours of supplemental paid sick leave, with no accrual period required. The employee is eligible for the leave for the same reasons related to the coronavirus as provided in the FFCRA. The ordinance provides for reduction of the 80 hours and other exceptions for certain circumstances as described in the ordinance.
