In the gig economy, that $5/hour adjust minimum might not exit (because it's not regulated), so the scenarios becomes... Made up example: Employer-stated hourly rate: $10/hour
Tips per hour: $9/hour Actual pay: $10/hour ($9 tips + $1 pay)
Tips per hour: $3/hour Actual pay: $10/hour ($3 tips + $7 pay)
And in the very extreme case...
Tips per hour: $11/hour Actual pay: $11/hour ($11 tips + $0 pay) By avoiding the minimum wage, and backfilling wages with tips, the employer can theoretically avoid paying ANY wages to employees (and I'm specifically calling them employees here because I believe most of these gig economy jobs should be employees, even if not legally required to do so). |
