What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Fl
In my place of work the managers collect the tips given by the takeout customers rather than share them with the workers. A lot of the time the tips are included via credit card transactions which the managers just won't ever pay out to anyone, though in some cases I've learned about a customer will hand a counter person a cash tip which then will be taken from them. And the managers claim they use the money to pay for nightly drawer shortages which I find hard to believe the tips they collect do just that and not create a nice surplus in their pockets, but regardless of that issue I find it hardly justification to keep these tips for one's own interest when I believe the correct assumption is that patrons donate gratuity to benefit the staff as a whole more so than just the management. Anyway, so I'm wondering how legal this is if at all. BTW, I'm not one of these counter people I was writing about, though I work the register a bit. I work as a driver and get my share of tips on the road, but would like to give any tips I ever receive to the workers "in-shop" and hate to see this unfair practice that apparently all managers perpetrate. Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I made my best guess as to where this should go. Thanks
