The rule required employers to pay tipped workers the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, and not the lower $2.13 minimum wage for tipped work, for non-tipped tasks that take up more than 20% of their time or 30 consecutive minutes.
The rule replaced a regulation adopted during Republican former President Donald Trump's administration that said workers could be paid the tipped minimum wage if they primarily performed tipped duties.
Two trade groups, the Restaurant Law Center and Texas Restaurant Association, filed a lawsuit in Texas soon after the Biden-era rule was adopted and were appealing a decision from U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman upholding the rule last year.
