A couple of months ago on a local server's group, I made a little bit of a name for myself for calling out a local corrupt business who was stealing wages from their employees and all around abusing them. Fast forward to last night, a server from a different local restaurant reached out to me to ask if it's normal for employers to take portions of their overall tips, as well as portions of their hourly pay for taxes. What's catching me is that what's pulled isn't based on the tips they declare but rather their sales.
As we all know, Wage Theft is the most commonly committed form of theft, and Servers are specifically at risk of wage theft. I'm a bit of a numbers guy but I'm no accountant. Are there resources out there showing how to check and see if your employer is unfairly taking wages from you? I'd like to put together a how-to video so as to put power in people's hands, but I'm unsure where to start.
Thank you for your time
