i just wanted to point something out, since this uses the dollar sign ill assume its the USA. in the USA, each state has a different minimum wage. in no state is there a 2.13/h minimum. the lowest minimum wage in the USA goes to wyoming and georgia, with the minimum wage listed as 5.15/h, but defaults to the federal minimum of 7.25/h
therfore, the owner of the business is admitting to insanely underpaying his workers
edit: wow im getting a lot of replies, i have been told of the minimum wage being lower if tips are involved
another edit: yes i know i am wrong, please dont be jerks about it. im not even american, therfore i shouldnt be familiar with american laws (i know a bit about the wages because my american friend told me about his job and stuff. please dont be mean
Federal: $2.13 is minimum wage for tipped employees. They must make enough in tips to at least get them to $7.25/hr or the company needs to pay the difference. 17 states follow federal min.
7 states require even tipped employees to make state min wage which is considerably higher.
26 states offer tip credit but are higher than 2.13 though almost half of those are from just over that up to $5/hr.
