Free tips without working
Establishment: a restaurant in Hawaii
Location: Hawaii
Our employer is making us-the waiters tip out bartenders, food expeditors, and hostesses who are 1) not in the restaurant working and 2) not scheduled. the reason is for these people to have a little income while we go through the recession.
Currently, management has not determined if these monies will go to the individuals or to a fund for employee activities such as christmas parties and picnics.
1) wouldn’t it be nice to be a bartender staying home not lifting a finger and getting $100 in tips a night?
2) If the money goes to the “employee fund” isn’t that called a “mandatory donation”?
Is this legal? Anyone know how to find a law?
You can’t be serious. Stand up for yourself.
