I believe employers are able to pay less, if tips make up the deficit?Doesn't the USA have minimum wage laws?

so tips have no benefit untill your given enough to clear the employers liability?I believe employers are able to pay less, if tips make up the deficit?
Yes, technically, if the minimum wage in the state is greater than your hourly rate (only legal when tips are involved), you're required to report all tips received that put you above said minimum. I've never worked a tipped job that actually took that rule seriously but they are out there.so tips have no benefit untill your given enough to clear the employers liability?
Eg. If I was on 10 dollars an hr, and recieved only 9 dollars in tips, then the employer only has to pay 1?
If tips have to be a part of the economy, this is the way to do it IMO. Pool everything, then divide up by hours worked across the staff.My dad was in catering a lifetime, as a young waiter/restaurant manager when the pay wasn't great he relied on tips to boost his earnings. When he was older and had his own restaurants he used to ask for all tips to be put into a pot so that he could split out and ensure his kitchen staff got a slice (pardon the pun) too
Disgusting isn't it.$7.25 is £5.59 at today's exchange rate.
UK minimum wage for over 21 year olds is rising to £12.21/hr from April.
It really is!Disgusting isn't it.
Given your hatred for all things Wetherspoons, I love that you worked in one.Pretty certain I was on more than £5.59/hr when I briefly worked in Wetherspoons after graduating in 2003 (wasn't a career move, it was a couple of months waiting for my actual post-uni job to start )
Mate, I had about £27 in my bank account and two months until my start date...Given your hatred for all things Wetherspoons, I love that you worked in one.
Although that's probably a big reason for the hatred....
Yeah I don't mind Spoons, I agree with DW about the owner but the food I've had in there is never terrible, usually ok and terrific value. I try never to go in there after 6pm though.I probably eat in spoonies every 4-6 weeks tbh, there's something there for everyone, the quality is always decent, and it's good-excellent value
Nah, I wouldn't be entertaining the idea of food there other than as a last resort. It's slam in the microwave crap, I mean you do get what you pay for but there's got to be a better option.I probably eat in spoonies every 4-6 weeks tbh, there's something there for everyone, the quality is always decent, and it's good-excellent value
That's fair but I've had much worse food in other establishments for double the price. As I said it's not great food but it is consistently OK, in the ones I've been in anyway.Nah, I wouldn't be entertaining the idea of food there other than as a last resort.

Their breakfast will be their top seller by some distance but it's so poor. Any halfway reasonable cafe will knock that out of the park and I'd much rather pay the extra couple of quid.
