Rule of thumb, there's _nothing_ in US law where you can say "things vary by state, but they're all the same in way X".
In this case, California has no concept of tip credits. All employees, regardless of whether they receive tips, must be paid at least minimum wage (Currently 16 $/hr)
- IgorPartola 2y agoThere are several laws like that, for example for child support. But there isn’t one for minimum wage. You cannot however violate Federal minimum wage laws as enforced by DoL at the state or local level. So in effect that law spells out a pattern. Having reviewed these laws in all applicable jurisdictions they do follow the same pattern: California’s tip credit is $0 as of right now. Oh and there is the Panera exception to its minimum wage law which is fairly novel.
