LANSING, Mich. — The state House passed two bills Thursday addressing the continuing debate for tipped wages and paid sick leave.
Both pieces of legislation move on to the Senate. The bills would keep the current tipped wage credit where it is. In other words, tipped employees would still make less than minimum wage.
This comes after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in favor of an increase to the tipped wage.
Some businesses and workers expressed concerns how that might lead to smaller paychecks and raised prices.
For the time being, tipped wages are expected to increase Feb. 21.
