waitress (Employment & Labor Law)

Fri, 04 Nov 2005 14:56:00 GMT

Should I get a paycheck saying 0.00? I am a waitress. I just got my second paycheck and boy was I unhappy. I worked 28 1/2 hrs at $2.38 an hr. I have to pay at the end of my shift, 3% on total Charge tips and 2% total sales, give the expediator a $5 tip plus I claim 5% of my total tips. Some days the tips are ok but most of the time the place is dead and I make enough tips to pay for my gas for the week. Shouldn't I get something on my paycheck even if it's a dollar? :mad:

  • If you do not have enough tips to claim, after doling out percentages to everybody, you must still be paid at least minimum wage for the week.

    And in some states, it is illegal for the employer to charge you a fee against your tips in order to receive them, as it appears they are doing with the credit card tips, if I understand you correctly.

    What state do you work in?
