I get paid $2.13 an hour, plus tips. Is that legal?
Restaurants can pay their 'tipped employees' (i.e. waiters and bartenders) $2.13/hour, but only if the employees get to keep all their tips, and they regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips. The difference between $2.13/hour and the minimum wage of $6.55/hour is known as the 'tip credit.' Some states, such as New York, require employers to pay waiters at least $4.60/hour. Other states, like California, require employers to pay the full California minimum wage ($8.00/hour). Watch Video Now |
