S.3780

The Give America a Raise Act increases the federal minimum wage and eliminates separate minimum wage rates for tipped employees and newly hired.

The Give America a Raise Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to increase the federal minimum wage incrementally over several years, starting at $10.00 an hour and reaching $20.00 an hour six years after the effective date. It also eliminates the separate minimum wage rates for tipped employees and newly hired employees under 20 years old, setting a single minimum wage for all employees. The Act mandates the Secretary of Labor to publish notices of wage increases and provides transition assistance to employers affected by the changes.
