2. ROGC Update to the San José Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance (Peralez,
18-733 Jones, Carrasco, Jimenez)
Recommendation: 1. Approve the attached ordinance (Attachment 1) updating San
José's existing Wage Theft Prevention Ordinance to achieve the
following goals:
a. Require Developers proposed major construction projects to
disclose wage theft or other violations of labor and employment law
committed in the past five years by their prime contractors and their
subcontractors; and if any prime contractor or subcontractor has
unpaid wage theft claims or other final unsatisfied judgments,
citations, or final administrative decisions against them, disqualify
that contractor from the project until they have complied with back
wages owed or other final judgments, citations, or final
administrative decisions.
b. If the City provides any economic development incentives to
private construction projects, those incentives should be subject to
penalties if illegal abuses of workers are committed on the project.
And direct staff to return to City Council with recommendations for
appropriate penalties for Developers, prime contractors, and
subcontracts, such as a “clawback” mechanism allowing the City to
revoke all or a portion of the incentive if illegal abuses of workers
are committed on the project.
2. Adopt the attached amendments (Attachment 2) updating San
José's existing Wage Theft Prevention Policy to achieve the
following goals:
a. Remove the exclusion of public works contracts from the policy.
b. Clarify that the existing definition of “Final Judgments, Decisions,
and Orders” also includes judgments resulting from a Civil Wage and
Penalty Assessment (CWPA) or from a Bureau of Field
Enforcement (BOFE) Page 2 citation, as well as citations for serious,
willful, and repeat OSHA violations.
