Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 4 of Title 34 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the "Georgia Minimum Wage Law," so as to provide for minimum wage pay to workers whose compensation consists wholly or partially of gratuities; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the "Georgia Minimum Wage Law" by removing a specific provision that allowed employers to pay workers whose compensation includes tips (gratuities) a lower minimum wage than other employees. Previously, Georgia law allowed employers to count a portion of an employee's tips towards their minimum wage, but this bill repeals that allowance, meaning all workers, regardless of whether they receive tips, will be entitled to the full state minimum wage. The bill also repeals any other laws that conflict with these changes.
