Raises the federal minimum wage to $20 an hour and ends lower pay for tipped workers, young hires, and those with disabilities.
This bill would gradually raise the federal minimum wage to $20 an hour over three years, with annual adjustments afterward. It would also end lower minimum wages for tipped employees, newly hired workers under 20, and individuals with disabilities over several years.
Today, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Employers can pay lower cash wages to tipped employees, $4.25 per hour to newly hired employees under 20 for their first 90 days, and subminimum wages to individuals with disabilities. If this bill becomes law, the federal minimum wage would gradually rise to $20.00 per hour over three years and then adjust annually. Subminimum wages for tipped employees, young hires, and individuals with disabilities would also gradually increase and eventually be eliminated.
