SUMMARY:What will the State Minimum Wage Increase Mean for Your Business?
DESCRIPTION:What Will the State Minimum Wage Increase Mean for Your Business?\n\nJoin the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce for a discussion with State Senator Jim Timilty\, Representatives\; Jay Barrows\, Betty Poirier and Steve Howitt\n\n \n\nThe Massachusetts State Senate voted to raise the state's minimum wage from $8 an hour to $11 an hour over three years.\n\nUnder the amended bill\, the minimum wage would increase to $9 an hour on July 1\, 2014\, $10 an hour on July 1\, 2015\, and $11 an hour starting July 1\, 2016.  The Senate also voted 31-7 to increase the wage for tipped employees to half the minimum wage. The tipped wage is currently $2.63 per hour.\n\nThe bill now moves to the state House of Representatives\, which will likely not vote on a minimum wage bill until sometime next year.  If it is passed by the House and signed into law by the governor\, it would be the highest state minimum wage in the country.
