Reply To: to tip or not to tip that is the question

‘Where tips are not looked among all the staff’
That practice is illegal in any jurisdiction (such as CT) that has a reduced minimum wage for tipped service employees.
Back of the house personnel, hostesses, owners, managers may not share in the top pool.
Effective January 1, 2024 that dishwasher is now subject to $15.69 hour minimum wage in CT.
The tipped server receives less than $7 per hour from the employer, but if the weekly tips don’t bring the wages up to the $15.69 level, the business must pay the difference.
