An initiative to require tipped workers to receive the same minimum wage as untipped workers is on the ballot.
Many D.C. workers who receive tips are paid the “tipped minimum” wage of $5.35 per hour instead of the non-tipped minimum wage of $16.10 per hour. Initiative 82 would change this system, gradually raising the tipped minimum to match the standard minimum by 2027.D.C.’s tipped workers are primarily restaurant servers and bartenders, but parking valets would also be affected.
Right now, the minimum wage of tipped workers in D.C. is $5.35 per hour. If tips the employee receives do not make the employee’s hourly wage add up to at least $16.10 per hour — the regular minimum wage — then employers are supposed to make up the difference.A near-identical ballot measure, Initiative 77, was passed by 55 percent of District voters in 2018, but was repealed months later by the D.C. Council.
