Get StartedA "yes" vote on Initiative 82 would require employers to pay tipped employees the district's minimum wage of $15.20 instead of the current $5.05 tipped worker's wage.
A "no" vote on Initiative 82 would allow employers to continue paying tipped workers $5.05 as opposed to the current minimum wage of $15.20.
Under current law, employers of employees classified as "tipped workers" may take a credit against tipped wages received by workers to satisfy the minimum wage guaranteed to all workers by law. If enacted, the Initiative would gradually eliminate the credit, such that the mandatory base wage (currently $5.05 per hour, indexed to inflation) paid by employers shall increase until 2027, when the mandatory base wage matches the minimum wage established by District of Columbia law (currently $15.20 per hour, indexed to inflation). Tips continue as property of employees and will be in addition to the statutory minimum hourly wage.
