Personnel Board approves minimum wage increase for City of Mobile employees 

Mobile, Ala. — The Mobile County Personnel Board today approved a minimum wage adjustment for City of Mobile employees. Based on a recommendation from Mayor Sandy Stimpson, the minimum hourly wage will increase from $11.89 to $15.22 for those working 40 hours or less. This will impact roughly 300 current hourly employees and future City hires. 

Last month, Mayor Stimpson announced a 2.5 percent cost of living adjustment for City of Mobile employees that took effect on April 9. His administration will also be undertaking a competitive pay analysis for all employee classifications. 

“Since taking office in 2013, we have been working towards more competitive wages across every City of Mobile Department,” Mayor Stimpson said. “I appreciate the personnel board approving our minimum wage increase this afternoon. This will directly impact hundreds of employees dealing with the rising cost of living. It will also help the City be more competitive in the labor market and recruit and retain employees in the future.”
