tipped wages??

[JaniceM]

Has anyone heard of this?:

In Iowa, tipped employees such as waitresses, bartenders, and busboys also have to factor their earned tips into their total wages, as well as any tip credits claimed by their employer against their cash wages.

Iowa allows employers to credit up to $2.90 in earned tips against an employee's wages per hour, which can result in a cash wage as low as $4.35 per hour. The calculator will automatically assume that the employer takes the maximum possible tip credit, and calculate tip and cash wage earnings accordingly.

We have something similar. This may not be accurate for 2022, but the logic will be similar.


“For the remainder of NYS, the minimum wage is $11.80 per hour. The hourly cash wage is $7.85 plus a $3.95 tip credit, equal to the minimum wage.”

Well, it's certainly complicated.
