  Restaurants advertise an hourly rate ($7.25/hr or $15/hr, whatever) but in reality it is $2.13 + tips.

    In NYC the tip credit is something like $5. Which means employers have the option to pay $10-$15 (min wage in NYC is $15) when employee is also paid tips. When the employee’s paycheck is calculated, and their (tips + wages) / hours < $15, then the balance is paid by the employer. In NYC, it is therefore illegal to pay less than $10/hr in wages. https://www.labor.ny.gov/formsdocs/wp/CR146.pdf https://www.labor.ny.gov/formsdocs/wp/CR146.pdf
