Hooters Girls Sue Over
From the Department of Labor website:
Tip Pooling: The requirement that an employee must retain all tips does not preclude a valid tip pooling or sharing arrangement among employees who customarily and regularly receive tips, such as waiters, waitresses, bellhops, counter personnel (who serve customers), busboys/girls and service bartenders. Tipped employees may not be required to share their tips with employees who have not customarily and regularly participated in tip pooling arrangements, such as dishwashers, cooks, chefs シャネル, and janitors. Only those tips that are in excess of tips used for the tip credit may be taken for a pool. Tipped employees cannot be required to contribute a greater percentage of their tips than is customary and reasonable.
There it is. You cannot require an employee to tip out cooks and dishwashers. It's illegal. Resturant owners have to pay this staff at least the normal minimum wage applicable.
Oh boy, are these gals misguided about paying for that uniform! There may be a few companies that pay for the uniform you wear but most do not. My son work at Target and they pay for their khaki pants and red shirts themselves. I don't think Wal-Mart pays for their employees' uniforms either. Most convenience store employees pay for their own shirts after the first one but have to buy their own khaki pants. As for the sharing of tips, that is illegal and Hooters will lose that part of the lawsuit. No matter where you work there will be some give and take on all of this. From what I've seen, Hooters isn't such a bad place to work and the girls are watched over fairly closely. Hells bell, there's a Bible class here that meets at Hooters once a week! You'd be amazed at their attendance ヴィトン! (This isn't a joke! It's a true fact!)
About the uniforms: It's a tank top and pair of running shorts, thick pantyhose, scrunched athletic socks and sneakers. I fail to see how such attire can be attributed to sluttiness, as implied or outright stated in many of the posts here. They're not bikinis, lingerie, or anything any more suggestive than common athletic wear you can see at your local jogging path ココシャネル.
About the girls: I can only speak about the place I worked at, and we were very diligent about creating a safe and respectable place to work, if not simply because it's the right thing to do, but also that if the girls feel safe and respected at their place of employment then they will be more productive for themselves and the business. The vast majority of them were college students. As in all groups, some were smart and not-so-smart, straight-laced and partiers, etc. That they happen to be capitalizing on being above average in looks is no different than an athlete capitalizing on his/her physical abilities. They all deserve respect and dignity.
At orientation, they are told that their first uniform kit is free except for the shoes. Whenever they wanted/needed a new piece of clothing they could purchase from the restaurant at cost, and they earned new stuff after so many hours シャネル バッグ. There was never a profit made from the employees' purchasing uniform items. The same goes for the t-shirts polos required for the kitchen/host/bussing staff. And if something was ruined while on the job it was replaced at the store's expense, not the staff. Once they left employment, they had to return replacements for the original kit if possible, except for pantyhose louis vuitton.
I think that to really comment on this lawsuit you would have to know the details of New York labor law, which may be different than your state's labor laws.
I think what may be at issue here is that the minimum wage law may contain a clause prohibiting the employer from making mandatory deductions for work items that reduces the net wage below minimum wage!
The other part of the lawsuit may be that New York バーバリー 財布, like many other states, has a lower minimum wage for workers that get tips. But the waitresses may be saying that they aren't getting their tips, the cooks are, so the chain cannot legally provide them the lower minimum wage.
Lets say the tip minimum wage is $3.35. The minimum wage is $7.25. They have to make $3.
90 an hour in tips. If they don't the employer is suppose to make up the difference. A good server can make anywhere from $15-$20 an hour just on tips and a bad one maybe $5-$10 an hour. That is still over $7.25 an hour. You have to add the tip minimum wage with the actual tips to get the actual minimum wage.
Every restaurant has a uniform. Some give them to you. Which you have to return after you quit or get fired, or you won't get your last check. Other restaurants do not give them to you and you have to buy them.
I worked for one restaurant that required the cooks to wear white button down shirt or white chef coat, black, tan, or blue pants, and non slip shoes. The servers where required to wear light blue, pink, yellow, or white color button down shirts バーバリー 時計. The socks had to be black and the pants and shoes where the same requirement as the kitchen エルメス. The dishwashers and bussers had to wear light blue shirts. Every area had their own requirements. You had to buy your uniform.
there is no law in new york that states they can not make them buy there uniform. the tip credit law was designed to help small business not have to pay minimum wage to tipped employees because the tips they make often if not always exceed what they would have made. in california the minimum wage is higher as well as the overtime laws are more strict. in san fran its even higher tipped or not you make over 9 an hour. tip pooling or tipping out managers or kitchen or bar or busser or whatever the owner decides should be honored gucci. every person has a choice to work somewhere or not. like hooters, you would think the objections would be wearing those skimpy outfits not the 19 bucks they cost. they look cheap and now we know how cheap they are.
And isn't "tip sharing" eeeeeevil socialism? if one girl with a D-cup brings in more money than the one with the A-cup, why should the A-cup get money she didn't earn? (yes, this "tip sharing" remark is complete sarcasm. In too many other contexts, it can be argued against エルメス 時計. Including this one. Too many variables, including mood of the customer, how quickly the cooks fry up the garbage to be eaten, ambient surroundings (layout, music volume, type of music, etc), how many customers come in at a given point, and so on.
