Plain-English Summary

This bill would change how tipped workers are paid by requiring employers to pay them a higher base wage rather than relying on tips to make up the difference, and would likely increase the federal minimum wage for tipped employees who currently can earn as little as $2.13 per hour. The legislation would affect millions of restaurant servers, bartenders, and other service workers across the country, as well as the businesses that employ them. The bill is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees to determine how it would impact labor standards and tax policy.
