Impact of the $15 Minimum Wage law Please be aware that our philosophy is to keep our programs and facilities as affordable as possible. However, in February of this year, the State of Illinois increased the $8.25 minimum wage to $15 by 2025. This is an 82% increase. This unfunded mandate will impact the Oak Lawn Park District drastically since we hire over 400 seasonal employees annually at less than $15 per hour. Most of these employees are high school and college students from Oak Lawn. Unfortunately this law will require us to increase our program fees and cut program offerings in order to maintain our budget. If each of those employees had only $1 added to their hourly rate, the District would incur an additional $122,000 in wages in 2020. By 2025, the District will incur an additional $691,000 in payroll expense annually plus $53,000 in payroll taxes |
