Newly inaugurated Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato has raised the minimum wage for county employees, with full-time workers now earning at least $18 an hour, set to increase to $22 by 2027, and part-time workers getting a minimum of $15 an hour. This move, effective immediately, impacts dozens of part-time and fewer than 500 full-time employees. The policy, which does not apply to unionized positions, is part of broader changes including overhauling vacation policy and lifting certain pre-employment requirements. Innamorato's administration aims to improve workforce conditions and competitiveness in the job market.
