Tipped Employees
Aggressive Advocacy for Tipped Employees New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
Proven New York City Employment Law Attorney
As a tipped employee in the state of New York, you are entitled to significant protection from the wrongful acts of an employer. Your employer may not receive any part of a tip and cannot require that you share your tips with other workers who did not serve the customer directly. In addition, your employer may require that you put tips in a pool to be shared with supervisors or others not involved with serving a customer. In return, your employer may pay you less than minimum wage.
However, if your employer violates any of the above provisions, the “tip credit” will be lost and your employer must pay you minimum wage. If that happens, you will still be entitled to any tips left for you.
If you have been wrongfully treated by an employer as a tipped employee, the Law Office of Justin A. Zeller can help.
At the Law Office of Justin A. Zeller, we bring nearly two decades of experience to working people in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, handling a wide range of employment law controversies, including violation of tipped employee laws by employers.
