Bill Summary

To eliminate the subminimum wage in the state.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend sections 31-58 and 31-60 of the state's general statutes to eliminate the subminimum wage. A subminimum wage is a lower hourly pay rate that employers are currently allowed to pay certain workers, such as tipped employees or workers with disabilities, which is below the standard minimum wage. By removing these provisions, the bill would require all employers to pay all workers at least the standard minimum wage, regardless of their job category or potential tip income. This change would ensure that no worker in the state can be legally paid less than the full minimum wage, potentially providing a more stable and fair income for workers who previously could have been paid reduced rates. The bill is a straightforward legislative effort to address wage inequality and provide more consistent compensation across different types of employment.
