Front of the House: 13. Tips for Tipped Employees

While common in most restaurants, tipping practices can vary wildly. In our Tips for Tipped Employees course we examine gratuities and how they work. We’ll discuss the minimum wage, what a paid tipped employee earns, how the cash wage and tipped credit work, and what employers are responsible for. Discover how tipping works with cash, debit and credit payments, how tips can impact your earnings, and why you are legally required to share your tip information with your employer. We’ll also look at how tip pooling works and the legal requirements you need to know.

Part of the Front of the House series, our Tips for Tipped Employees course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials, and a short online quiz to check your comprehension.
