Wrong!
Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Minimum Wages for Tipped Employees
Show a statute that proves your claim.
I don't need a statute, I have two kids in college working as waiters/waitress.
Both places they have worked do this. Course this might be an Indiana thing.
Wait...your link proves what I am saying??
My link shows the hourly wage. It does not state that the employer must make up any differences.
That is the lie you perpetrated.
Screw you, lie I perpetrated...go to hell.
People can and do say things in error, doesn't mean they are lying idiot.
Besides that..... http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs15.htm
Characteristics
Tipped employees are those who customarily and regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips. Tips are the property of the employee. The employer is prohibited from using an employees tips for any reason other than as a credit against its minimum wage obligation to the employee (tip credit) or in furtherance of a valid tip pool. Only tips actually received by the employee may be counted in determining whether the employee is a tipped employee and in applying the tip credit.
Tip Credit: Section 3(m) of the FLSA permits an employer to take a tip credit toward its minimum wage obligation for tipped employees equal to the difference between the required cash wage (which must be at least $2.13) and the federal minimum wage. Thus, the maximum tip credit that an employer can currently claim under the FLSA is $5.12 per hour (the minimum wage of $7.25 minus the minimum required cash wage of $2.13).
