Summary of Question 5
This proposed law would gradually increase the minimum hourly wage an employer must pay a tipped worker, over the course of five years, on the following schedule: To 64% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2025; To 73% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2026; To 82% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2027; To 91% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2028; and To 100% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2029. The proposed law would require employers to continue to pay tipped workers the difference between the state minimum wage and the total amount a tipped worker receives in hourly wages plus tips through the end of 2028. The proposed law would also permit employers to calculate this difference over the entire weekly or bi-weekly payroll period. The requirement to pay this difference would cease when the required hourly wage for tipped workers would become 100% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2029. Under the proposed law, if an employer pays its workers an hourly wage that is at least the state minimum wage, the employer would be permitted to administer a ?tip pool? that combines all the tips given by customers to tipped workers and distributes them among all the workers, including non-tipped workers.
