AI Summary
This bill proposes to gradually increase the minimum cash wage that employers are required to pay tipped employees in Massachusetts. The bill starts by setting the minimum cash wage at $6.45 per hour in 2022 and incrementally increases it each year, reaching $13.95 per hour by 2027. After 2027, the minimum cash wage for tipped employees will be equal to the state's general minimum wage. The bill also allows employers to pay a lower minimum wage if they are paying all employees the full minimum wage and allowing for tip pooling among certain types of staff.
