Illinois lawmakers are moving ahead with a plan to get rid of the state’s lower minimum wage for tipped employees.
A House panel on Wednesday approved the legislation that would end Illinois’ eight-dollar and 40-cent per-hour minimum wage for waiters, bar tenders, and other people who rely on tips.
The plan would pay all workers Illinois’ current 14-dollar an-hour minimum wage.
Chicago has a plan to end the tipped minimum wage by 2028.
Opponents, however, say forcing companies to pay tipped employees more will almost certainly lead to fewer jobs.
