Receive tips FROM their employees??? If they wish to give themn to him I guess he can. On the other hand if he is requiring/forcing/coercing him to turn their tips over to him he may be in conflict with state laws as well as tax laws.
If by "take" you mean confiscate them from his staff - no he may not. The tips are considered (even by the tax authorities) to be part of the earned income of the servers and wait staff. While there may be an agreement among the staff to pool their tips and divide them equally at the end of the shift, the owner may not convert these tips to his own use.
never......it is illegal
* Bartending can earn a lot of money. Tips are regularly given for this kind of employment especially if the establishment where you work as a bartender is a busy kind. * Bartending jobs are easy and convenient if you have the skills, it can be fun as well. * In most cases, bartending employment does not require as much training as other jobs. * In a high volume establishment or resort, a bartender can earn about $50K-$75K annually.
Although I am not an attorney, I've worked in the Food and Beverage industry for 25 years (+ -) Employees receiving tips are just that.....EMPLOYEES. An owner does not receive a specified 'salary' amount, or tips as specified by the Employment Commission; as owners they are bound by law to pay their employees, vendors and other overhead costs before they show 'profit', 'salary', 'wages', or 'tips'. Added: In total agreement with the first ansser HOWEVER - you REALLY need to check with the Maryland state agency that controls wage, hour, and labor issues...., and perhaps the ABC Board as well.
Yes.
In the United States, they're not supposed to. But, in South American countries, where there aren't many laws protecting workers, the owner tends.to take the tip from the employee.
Only if they get caught
Absolutely. And read the recent newspapers (March 2008), a court said Starbucks was required to NOT include the managers in the splitting of the tips (which they had been doing), and pay the other staff a huge amount for the tips that the managers had already received! So, I guess while they allow tips for their employees and work team, they can only allow the actual tip to go to certain employees! >It depends if it is a corporate Starbucks or not (like tom thumb or target)
Sure, but i wouldn't want to tell anyone about it.
There really is no way to get free money quickly. If there was, we'd all be rich.The best way to earn money quickly is to get a job that pays cash tips. For example, delivery, bartending, waiting tables, or any other job that you can earn tips that you can take home that day with you.
Shop owner usually pays them an hourly plus they get tips.
$7.25/hr (minimum wage) + tips. I make about as much an hour from tips as I get from my wage, so it's pretty sweet.
