Ending Workplace Harassment, Raising Tipped Wages, and Banning Mandatory Arbitration
This bill strengthens protections against workplace discrimination and harassment by extending rights to independent contractors and interns, and by eliminating the sub-minimum wage for tipped employees. It also bans mandatory arbitration for work disputes and limits the use of nondisclosure agreements that hide harassment claims.
Key points
Eliminates the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers, ensuring they receive the full standard minimum wage plus tips.
Expands anti-discrimination laws to protect independent contractors, volunteers, and interns, not just traditional employees.
Prohibits employers from forcing workers to sign nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) that silence harassment claims.
Extends the time limit for filing discrimination complaints to four years and bans mandatory arbitration clauses.
