Bill Summary

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 19 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE MINIMUM WAGE FOR EMPLOYEES RECEIVING TIPS OR GRATUITIES.

AI Summary

This bill amends Delaware's minimum wage law to increase the minimum wage for employees who receive tips or gratuities. Specifically, it changes the tip credit percentage from the federal level of 60% to 65% of the state's minimum wage. This means that employers can pay tipped employees a lower base wage, as long as the total of their base wage and tips meets or exceeds the state's minimum wage. The bill also establishes a minimum base wage of $2.23 per hour for tipped employees, which is 65% of the current state minimum wage of $9.25 per hour.
