Hawaii HB684 phases out the tip credit to increase the income of tipped workers.

Hawaii HB684 aims to increase the income of tipped workers by gradually phasing out the tip credit. The bill adjusts the hourly wage of tipped employees to ensure they receive at least the minimum wage. It sets incremental increases in the wage floor for tipped employees, culminating in a requirement for employers to pay all employees at least the minimum wage. This change is intended to ensure that tipped workers receive a fair income, with the final phase-out of the tip credit scheduled for January 1, 2031.
