This bill proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to establish the Tipped Workers Protection Act, which would allow employers to pay workers who regularly receive tips a base wage as low as 25% below the standard minimum wage. Under this provision, an employer could pay less than the full minimum wage only if the employee's tips combined with their base pay equal at least the minimum wage plus $2 per hour for every hour worked. The rule requires employers to verify compliance by averaging tips received over a specific pay period, and the measure must be approved by voters at the next general election to take effect.
