In accordance with the City of Milwaukee’s duty to provide and maintain a workplace free of known hazards, the City of Milwaukee will implement a mandatory vaccination policy effective Wednesday, September 1, 2021 for COVID-19 for general city employees, including temporary employees, and interns. We are adopting this policy to safeguard the health of our employees, their families, visitors and the residents we serve.
COVID-19 Employee Vaccination Policy
On July 7, 2021, the Common Council unanimously approved file #210343, which raises the minimum payable wage for all City of Milwaukee employees to $15.00/hour. As residents of the City of Milwaukee are governed by a 3% residency incentive, the minimum rate of pay for residents of the City of Milwaukee will be $15.45/hour. This minimum payable wage is effective September 5, 2021.
Among the employees impacted by the change are library circulation aides, library teen outreach interns, school crossing guards, temporary election workers, fire cadets, and police aides. The additional cost of the wage changes will be managed within this year’s City budget and included in the Mayor’s budget proposal for 2022.
Employees whose rates have been adjusted up to these new minimum wage rates will see the change reflected on their September 30, 2021 paycheck. Employees with a question about their September 30, 2021 paycheck should reach out to their department’s human resources personnel.
