It depends a lot on the paperwork you signed when you were hired but usually if you get paid minimum wage or more the employer can take half. No matter what you get paid: if the person pay and tips with a credit card the employer can deduct their processing fee from your tip. Also they can deduct from your tips to split with bus boys and the like

It depends on the agreement when you hired on. Many places have tip sharing and they divide the money up which is crap because bus boys and hostesses get a full salary and wait staff usually do not. However if everyone gets a full hourly wage, they can divide the tips up however they want. The only real case you have is if your pay is dependent on tips.


no cut in tips?
My friend has asked me a question. He works in a restraunt 2 nights a week, and gets paid a basic wage of 40 pound a night. Is it right for his employer to NOT give him a share in the tips because the full time staff are on an very low basic rate, and he said they depend on it. Sorely tips shouldn't be part of your wages??? Isn't it a bonus that should either be shared or each to there own. Please help ...
