Bill Summary
Beginning 1/1/2027, increases the tip credit amount to equal twenty-five per cent of the minimum wage. Requires the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to annually calculate the adjusted tip credit amount.
AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii's labor laws to adjust the tip credit, which is the amount an employer can deduct from a tipped employee's minimum wage based on the tips they receive. Starting January 1, 2027, the tip credit will be set at twenty-five percent of the state's minimum wage, a change from the previous system where specific dollar amounts were listed. The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations will be responsible for annually calculating this adjusted tip credit amount to ensure it remains at that twenty-five percent threshold of the prevailing minimum wage.
