- gnicholas 8y agoI'm in CA so don't encounter this issue. Is it common in other states for workers in an establishment where you order at a counter and pick up your food from a counter to be paid a tipped minimum wage? I thought employers had to gross up employee pay if their hourly + tips didn't hit the non-tipped minimum wage?
- techsupporter 8y ago> I thought employers had to gross up employee pay if their hourly + tips didn't hit the non-tipped minimum wage? Employers are required to do that. However, as is most often the case at the low end of the job ladder, enforcing your employment rights against your employer is a very efficient way to find yourself unemployed and--in smaller communities where "people are gonna talk"--blackballed from ever holding a job again.
- gnicholas 8y agoI totally understand that. I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of employers paying a tipped minimum wage to the sorts of businesses described (where employees interact with employees in the same way as in fast food establishments, roughly).
