AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a "one fair wage" system in Massachusetts, where tipped employees must be paid a minimum cash wage by their employer that gradually increases over time, with the difference between this cash wage and the state's overall minimum wage made up by the tips the employees receive. The bill specifies that the cash wage for tipped employees will start at $6.45 per hour in 2021 and increase annually, reaching $13.95 per hour by 2026, at which point the employer will be required to pay the full state minimum wage with no tip credit. The bill also repeals sections of a prior law that allowed for a lower tipped minimum wage.
