Hawaii SB604 amends the minimum wage and tip credit for tipped employees.
Hawaii SB604 modifies the minimum wage schedule and the tip credit for tipped employees. The bill sets a series of minimum wage increases, culminating in a $18.00 per hour wage by January 1, 2028. It also adjusts the tip credit, allowing employers to pay tipped employees a wage below the minimum wage, provided the total amount from wages and tips meets or exceeds the minimum wage. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will calculate an adjusted tip credit amount annually starting January 1, 2026.
