What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AL
I am a waitress in Alabama. I get paid $2.50 an hour which is slightly over minium wage for a server. My question is this, while getting paid $2.50 an hour, what duties would be considered illegal at this wage. My employer has us come to work and start the day with prep work and a list of chores that include clean up in the kitchen and stock rooms. We stock the coolers every morning which includes going into the basement and bringing up cases of beer and sodas with hand trucks. We also do all the dishes. They require us to do odd jobs sometimes like decorating, assembling things and monthly deep cleanings. Just recently they started a thursday night wing night. They have the cook make the sauces and lay out the chicken and send him home. They require that we serve and cook the wings and do all the clean up. We do all this and more making only $2.50 an hour, is this legal? We do not make alot of money at this establishment that would really make up for all of our extra responsibilities.
