HI HB28

Adjusts the tip credit for tipped employees to 50 cents per hour beginning January 1, 2022, and 25 cents per hour beginning January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023.

Requires the combined amount tipped employees receive from their employer and in tips to be at least $7.00 more than the applicable minimum wage beginning January 1, 2015.

Repeals the tip credit provision entirely effective January 1, 2024, eliminating the ability to pay tipped employees below the minimum wage.

Deletes the statutory definition of "tipped employee" (those customarily receiving more than $20 per month in tips).

Takes effect July 1, 2021, with the repeal of tip credit provisions taking effect January 1, 2024.
