Bill > SB922

This bill amends Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 653.035 to require employers in the food service industry to distribute credit card tips to employees within 24 hours after the credit card transaction is processed. The bill adds a new subsection (4) to the existing law, which already prohibits employers from counting tips toward minimum wage calculations. By mandating prompt tip distribution, the legislation aims to ensure that food service workers receive their gratuities quickly and in full. The bill covers all employers in the food service industry, regardless of whether they are regulated under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and applies specifically to tips received through credit card transactions. This provision helps protect workers by ensuring they have timely access to the tips they earn, which can be an important part of their overall compensation in the food service sector.
