Posts - Bill - HR 2312 Tipped Employee Protection Act
house 03/24/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the Fair Labor Standards Act by revising the definition of "tipped employee" to ensure fair and equitable compensation. This legislation seeks to guarantee that employees who earn tips receive a wage that, when combined with their tips, meets or surpasses the federal minimum wage consistently over different time periods.
