Online Form Available for Employers Required to File Minimum Wage Report for Tipped Employees

For Immediate Release: Monday, April 23, 2018

The Montgomery County Office of Human Rights has announced an online form is available for all employers who are required to file quarterly wage reports for tipped employees.

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett and County Council passed Montgomery County Code, Chapter 27-Human Rights and Civil Liberties, Section 27-69 to establish a base pay for tipped employees in 2015. The law requires that each qualifying tipped employee is paid the minimum Tipped Credit Wage of $4 an hour and must be paid an additional amount to equal, in total, the current minimum wage during each quarter. Employers are required to file a wage report within 30 days after the end of each quarter.

“We want to make it as easy as possible for employers to comply with the requirements,” said Office of Human Rights Director Jim Stowe. “This new online process will provide a more effective and efficient process for filing.”

More information is available on Montgomery County’s minimum wage and overtime law https://www.dllr.state.md.us/labor/wages/minimumwagelawmont.pdf. The online form is available at the Office of Human Rights website.
