In the United States, federally, the wage and tips have to equal at least minimum wage. Your employer HAS to pay you the difference of your tips from minimum wage, if you didn't end up meeting minimum wage.
Example: If minimum wage is $8.00 and after that hour, you only received $6 in tips, then your employer owes you $2.00 for that hour. This can also be figured per shift totals. Exa: $8.00/hr per 8 Hour shift = $64/shift. If you only received $50 in tips that whole shift, then your employer owes you $14 for that shift.

Minimum wage 19 year old 2010 April 1st?
Minimum wage has nothing to do with your age if you are 18 or over (there may be "training wages" for workers under 18). The federal minimum wage is $7.25. States may use that minimum wage or may have higher minimum wages, so the state where you live may have a higher requirement. Realize that some positions are eligible for a "tip credit," meaning that your employer may pay you less than the statutory minimum wage if they can show that you earn enough tips to make up the difference. The wage plus tips should, however, still equal at least minimum wage.

If a waitress counts her tips and they equal less than the minimum wage for the hours worked is the employer responsible to make up her pay to at least minimum wage?
The minimum wage for restaurant, diner, and bar servers is much lower than the minimum for other workers. Your employer is obligated to pay you the server minimum, nothing more. It sounds like you need to find a more popular establishment. *In Kentucky and Indiana, the employer is supposed to pay you the difference between what you make in tips and the minimum wage if your tips do not bring you up to that. It is very seldom that tips do not bring the wages of a server up to minimum wage when averaged over a period of a few days to a week, so employers assume that overall you are making minimum wage or more and do not make up the difference if you have a bad day every now and then.

It might be different in different states- but they must claim 100% of the tips they receive on a credit card (as it can be traced) and/or the amount that would make them earn at least minimum wage in a non-waitress job- providing that they did earn at least that much. IF they do not earn at least minimum wage their employer must add to their take home salary to make it equal minimum wage.
