I reported my workplace to the Department of Labor

Hey all. I work at a restaurant in the US that gives us the cash tips but not the credit card ones. The credit card tips just go towards the restaurant’s profits. This has been going on for 3.5 years. When approaching the owners about this, they have said that it is not illegal for them to take the credit card tips since we’re making above minimum wage. They always have some sort of excuse. Well, I started to get suspicious that there was something illegal about this, so I called the federal Department of Labor yesterday to file a report and they said they will decide what to do about the situation and probably do an “investigation” on the issue. I’m curious if anyone on here has filed a complaint with the DoL before and knows what will happen next?
