Prohibit paying as tipped employees if banned from tips

Legislative Summary:HB56: Prohibits an employer from classifying an individual as a tipped employee if the individual is prohibited by applicable federal or state law or regulation from soliciting tips.

Analysis by 32BJ SEIU Service Union: Wheelchair attendants at Virginia airports were banned from asking for or soliciting tips yet could be still legally be paid as low as the $2.13 per hour, the Virginia tipped worker minimum wage. Because of this legislation, they will no longer be classified as tipped workers and now qualify for the airport minimum wage.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 86-14-0 on Jan/22/20; Passed Senate 23-17-0 on Mar/5/20; State Sen. Jennifer McClellan voted YES; Signed by Governor Ralph Northam on Apr/11/20

Allow requiring prevailing wage on public works projects

Legislative Summary: HB2395: Prohibits state agencies from requiring contractors to pay prevailing wages in connection with a public works project.

Analysis by Progress Virginia: Requiring employers to pay their employees the prevailing wage guarantees firms will compete for public works contracts on the basis of the skills and acumen they bring to the table. Otherwise, firms would be more likely to compete by trying to pay their labor force as low a wage as they can get away with.

Veto message: This legislation attempts to lower wages and impedes future labor agreements. Virginia's efforts should be focused on increasing wages, rather than placing artificial restrictions on their future earning potential.

Legislative Outcome: Passed House 67-32-1 on Feb/10/15; State Del. Jennifer McClellan voted NO; Passed Senate 21-18-1 on Feb/24/15; Vetoed by Governor Terry McAuliffe on Mar/27/15.
