(8) $11.00 per hour beginning January 1, 2022.
(b) [The
hourly wage of a tipped employee may be deemed to be increased on account of
tips if the employee is paid not less than:
(1) 25 cents;
(2) 50 cents per
hour beginning January 1, 2015; and
(3) 75 cents per
hour beginning January 1, 2016,
below the applicable minimum wage by the
employee's employer and the combined amount the employee receives from the
employee's employer and in tips is at least 50 cents more than the applicable
minimum wage; provided that beginning January 1, 2015, the combined amount the
employee receives from the employee's employer and in tips is at least $7.00
more than the applicable minimum wage.] On September 30, 2022, and on
September 30 of each year thereafter, the department shall calculate an
adjusted minimum wage rate. The adjusted
minimum wage rate shall be calculated to the nearest five cents using the
Honolulu region consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers
(CPI-W) or a successor index, for the twelve months prior to September 1 of
each year as calculated by the United States Department of Labor; provided that
if in any year the adjustment based on the Honolulu region CPI-W would result
in a lower minimum wage rate, the minimum wage rate shall not be decreased and
the adjusted minimum wage rate shall remain at the most recently established
minimum wage rate. Each adjusted minimum
wage rate calculated under this subsection shall take effect on the following
January 1."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
