Should you leave a tip?? Some states have a lower minimum wage for tipped employees while others (like California) do not. A tipped employee can make as little as $2.13 per hour in some states compared to tipped employees making $16 per hour in California. Employees in California who do not receive tips also have the same minimum wage of $16 per hour.

If your employees regularly receive tips, complying with tipped minimum wages can be complicated. Know the rules as an employer for your business’ state.
