Modifications to Irvine’s recently approved “hero pay” for grocery workers are being made in an effort to shield small businesses from the measure, say some city councilors.

Updates to the proposed ordinance sought to remove some of the smaller stores by increasing the minimum number of store employees from 15 to 20 and increasing the nationwide number of employees from 300 to 500.
