What is the name of your state?Colorado
I understand that in colorado that it is against the law for an employer to keep tips with out paying the employee minimum wage or with out posting sinage saying that tips are property of the employer, not the employee. Here is my issue- I am a beverage cart driver for a golf course and at the end of our day we have to turn in all money earned, product and tips alike, into the golf pro so he may count up how much we sold and how much we get back in tips. Days later is when we actually get our tips. First, is this even legal? Is he even allowed to go though our tips at all? He claims that it is to keep everyone honest, yet sometimes we get back less than we believe we have made. We only get 4 dollars an hour, so we basically are working for tips. He claims that in his experience cart drivers only get 25 percent of sales- so if we make more than 25 percent, we don't see the rest of the money. I hope this isn't to confusing. I really need help.
