Not true. The federal minimum wage for servers and other tipped employees is the same as other employees: it's just the minimum wage.

Interesting, they did not told us that part when I worked in USA in summer. Cooks got 6.5$ and that was minimum wage in there. Servers got 1.5$ and had to report all tips to be taxed. Then again, servers earned more overall, so minimum wage was not really an issue for them.
- sokoloff 10y agoLiterally the third sentence in your link provides support for GP's position: "The employer is prohibited from using an employee’s tips for any reason other than as a credit against its minimum wage obligation to the employee (“tip credit”)"
- Pyxl101 10y agoYou are mistaken. Please read the rest of the article, and the comment that is a peer to yours. "Where an employee does not receive sufficient tips to make up the difference between the direct (or cash) wage payment (which must be at least $2.13 per hour) and the minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference."
