Helpful Tips for Tipped Employees
Restaurants have the responsibility to ensure that their employees receive at least minimum wage over the course of each shift. If they fail to do so, or if they give portions of the tip pool to non-tipped employees, then you need to get in touch with our lawyer to set things straight. While tipped employees make less than minimum wage, it is assumed by law that you will still earn at least minimum wage after your tips are added to your total pay.
