AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a "one fair wage" policy in Massachusetts. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It gradually increases the minimum cash wage for tipped employees from $6.45 to $13.95 by 2027, with incremental increases each year. 2. Beginning in 2028, the minimum wage for tipped employees will be the same as the state's full minimum wage, effectively eliminating the separate tipped wage. 3. It allows employers who pay all employees at least the full minimum wage to require tipped employees to participate in tip pools that include non-tipped staff. 4. The bill phases in the changes over several years, with the first increase taking effect in 2022 and the final increase in 2028.
