[–] Aum@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (4 children) Wait so they get paid less than the minimum wage? What’s the point of minimum wage if they have to make up for it with tips? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] yata@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago No point. It is purely symbolic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JonDorfman@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) There's technically two different rates employers are federally required to pay. First there's the standard $7.25/h. The second is for workers that receive cash tips. Employers are allowed to pay said workers as little as $2.13/h so long as their tips and their regular wages work out to $7.25h. If the employee's gross pay works out to less than $7.25/h, then the employer is obligated to make up the difference. The idea, I presume, is to allow some wiggle room to "encourage a more competitive market for smaller businesses," while still ensuring workers make at least the minimum. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] twitterfluechtling@lemmy.pathoris.de 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) If the employee’s gross pay works out to less than $7.25/h, then the employer is obligated to make up the difference. I imagine the result it that any employee demanding the employer to fill the gap is fired because obviously they provide bad service, otherwise they'd get more tips.
