>$7/hr (pre-tip)

from nolo.com:
>Employers must pay tipped employees at least $3.23 an hour in 2016, $3.38 an hour in 2017, and $3.52 an hour in 2018.

- anexprogrammer 10y agoConfused Brit question - how? That's below min wage, which I thought was national law. I imagine it's a bit lower for youngsters.
- unprepare 10y ago> Under federal law and in most states, employers may pay tipped employees less than the minimum wage, as long as employees earn enough in tips to make up the difference. This is called a "tip credit." Technically you can sue your employer if they wont pay you the difference if you dont end up making enough in tips to end up at or above minimum wage - in practice however, suing your employer is generally not a great way to stay employed http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/michigan-laws-tipped-employees.html http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/michigan-laws-tipped-...
- anexprogrammer 10y agoDamn, that's harsh. Only way I know round UK min wage is to be self-employed, or one of the fake "self-employed" like some delivery drivers have had to become. Surprised the IR haven't slammed the door on that little scam yet.
- duaneb 10y agoWait staff have their own minimum wages. Iirc it's under $3/hour. That said, it's not uncommon to get at least minimum wage.
- AndrewKemendo 10y ago7 is an average - as some states have a minimum up to $10/hr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped_wage_in_the_United_Stat...
