What a yes vote does

Increase the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $8.50 per hour beginning January 1, 2015, and guarantee an increase in the minimum wage each year after to account for inflation. Additionally, set tipped employees' wage at half that of the minimum wage, raising their hourly pay from $2.13 to $4.25.
