"I don't think my boss is paying me minimum wage. But he fired the last guy who complained about his hourly pay rate. I don't want to rock the boat - I can't afford to lose my job." - sample issue

Tipped and Service Employees - these employees can earn $4.60 per hour, as long as they earn an additional $2.55 per hour in tips. There are specific rules that regulate "tip sharing" and therefore each case must be analyzed differently.
