Wow, for real? This is a good argument in support of abolishing tipped wages. Is there anything you can point to for that being standard practice so my source isn’t just an internet person? It’s clearly not going to be written down anywhere, so I’m looking for an article or written testimony and not finding anything
That does not say over report your tips to the IRS if tips are so low they would have forced your employer to pay a higher wage.
I could see making that judgement call if the employer is a dick but customers are usually exceptionally generous tip wise, and you had an isolated slow night. However if day to day the tips are normal, then taking the hit for your employer is just a recipe for continued exploitation.
Not it doesnt say to over report your tips, but it does say that if you or your employer report under a certain percent of sales as tips, exactly what percentage they wont say, that theyll audit you, and that that percentage is at least 8%.
