evidence: The issue stems from the back-and-forth over Initiative 77, a 2018 ballot measure to eliminate the tipped minimum wage, which is currently $5.35 per hour. The initiative was approved by voters, then repealed by the D.C. Council, and replaced with a different piece of legislation intended to assuage concerns from Initiative 77 advocates and prevent wage theft: the Tipped Wage Workers Fairness Amendment Act of 2018. Among other things, the law requires payroll companies to report certain wage data to the Department of Employment Services on a quarterly basis, aimed to help the agency spot employers who fail to make up the difference if a worker’s tips plus their base pay (or tipped minimum wage) don’t add up to the full minimum wage, which is currently set at $16.10 per hour.
