Many restaurants and bars charge their servers when a customer walks a tab, or when they break dishes and glasses.  In fact, some restaurants charge a 'breakage fee' every shift - even when the server has not broken anything! 

These types of deductions or charges are improper.  A server is not required to pay for the employer's cost of doing business.  The result, of course, is that the employer forfeits the tip credit and owes the servers the full statutory minimum wage.

What if my employer requires me to pay for glass breakage, walked tabs or makes other deductions to my pay?
