Background
At the 2016 General Election, the people of Flagstaff passed Proposition 414 - “The Minimum Wage Act” - with the goal of providing a livable minimum wage for Flagstaff workers and achieving a $15 per hour minimum wage in Flagstaff by 2021 through a gradual, phased implementation.
This ballot measure established Title 15 of the Flagstaff City Code, which contains all laws for minimum wage within the City of Flagstaff. This law covers all individuals who work or are expected to work 25 hours or more in any given calendar year within the city limit. All covered individuals are to be paid or to earn no less than the current hourly minimum wage.
