Johns Hopkins All Children’s raises minimum wage
May 6, 2021 - Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital will raise the minimum wage for its employees to $15 an hour, effective Jan. 1, 2022. That's five years ahead of the requirement for a $15 an hour minimum wage that Florida voters approved last year. It will directly benefit more than 300 employees at the St. Petersburg-based pediatric hospital, a news release said. It applies to temporary workers, student workers and contract employees who work full time on campus. It's part of a move by Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Health System to adopt an enterprise-wide $15 an hour minimum wage. "This decision reflects Johns Hopkins’ broader commitment to increasing opportunities in the communities the university and health system serve, creating a ripple effect in the local business community," the news release said.
