HB684

Hawaii HB684 phases out the tip credit, gradually increasing the minimum wage for tipped employees.

Hawaii HB684 amends the state's minimum wage requirements for tipped employees. It phases out the tip credit, which allows employers to pay below the minimum wage, by gradually increasing the minimum wage for tipped employees. The bill sets specific wage increases for tipped employees starting from 2015, culminating in a requirement that all employees be paid at least the minimum wage by 2031. The changes aim to ensure tipped workers receive a fair income by eliminating the tip credit over time.
