- throw310822 1y agoI don't understand, what's the pay period? One day? Doesn't it mean that they're paid at least the minimum wage per day?
- Taek 1y agoUsually 2 weeks.
- throw310822 1y agoThanks. Does this basically mean that waiters are entirely free for restaurants and cafes (as I doubt any fails to reach the minimum wage in tips)?
- NoahKAndrews 1y agoThe $2.13 they mentioned is the minimum hourly rate the restaurant has to pay in that circumstance (federally, it varies by state)
- NoahKAndrews 1y agoSee https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped for the minimums in each state
- janalsncm 1y agoIt’s still paid at a minimum of 7.25 per hour. Yeah cleaning time increases the denominator for the overall pay rate but I see the issue more as 7.25 is way too low or COL is too high. Put another way, if a waiter gets zero tips their pay calculation reduces to what a fast food worker makes.
