The hot topic of discussion on hospitality workers has finally come to a head. This industry has long been the subject of protests and unique caveats regarding salary and gratuity for tipped employees such as waiters and waitresses. Now, the revolution can cease, at least for a little while. In an effort to close the gap between the wealthy and the poor in the state of New York, Governor Cuomo has recently announced that a wage increase is in order – these tipped workers will be required to have a minimum base wage of $7.50 per hour.
