Anaheim Moves Forward with Hero Pay Ordinance The measure would provide such workers with a $3 per hour pay boost for 60 days. Councilmember Jose Moreno initiated the “hero pay” ordinance, also known as hazard pay, with support from councilmembers Jordan Brandman and Avelino Valencia. “We know there’s a tsunami of economic hardship coming their way,” Moreno said. “Many of them have had to defer their rents, have had to defer credit card bills, car payments, forbearance on mortgages … That’s why this is important to still consider—in a temporary and modest way—so that our city can avoid an economic catastrophe by our workers who stepped up for us over the last 14 months.”
