The minimum wage for tipped workers has been frozen at the federal level at $2.13/hour since 1991. On top of low wages, many tipped workers do not receive important benefits like paid sick leave, paid vacation leave, or health insurance through their employer. From a business perspective, all of these factors increase employee turnover and diminish service quality with impacts the bottom line.

Nearly 8 in 10 tipped workers in Nebraska are women.

It's time to increase wages for tipped workers and support the financial health and opportunity for Nebraska's hard-working families and their children.
