QUESTION 5: Minimum Wage for Tipped Workers SUMMARY: The proposed law would gradually increase the minimum hourly wage an employer must pay a tipped worker, over the course of fi ve years, on the following schedule: To 64% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2025 To 73% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2026 To 82% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2027 To 91% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2028 To 100% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2029 The proposed law would require employers to continue to pay tipped workers the diff erence between the state minimum wage and the total amount a tipped worker receives in hourly wages plus tips through the end of 2028. The proposed law would also permit employers to calculate this difference over the entire weekly or biweekly payroll period. The requirement to pay this diff erence would cease when the required hourly wage for tipped workers would become 100% of the state minimum wage on January 1, 2029. Under the proposed law, if an employer pays its workers an hourly wage that is at least the state minimum wage, the ~ LEGAL NOTICE ~ CITY OF EVERETT employer would be permitted to administer a “tip pool” that combines all the tips given by customers to tipped workers and distributes them among all the workers, including nontipped workers. WHAT YOUR VOTE WILL DO A YES VOTE would increase the minimum hourly wage an employer must pay a tipped worker to the full state minimum wage implemented over fi ve years, at which point employers could pool all tips and distribute them to all non-management workers. A NO VOTE would make no change in the law governing tip pooling or the minimum wage for tipped workers.
