tipped employee engages in an occupation in which he or she customarily and regularly receives more than $30 per month in tips. An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 per hour in direct wages if that amount combined with the tips received at least equals the federal minimum wage. If the employee’s tips combined with the employer’s direct wages of at least $2.13 per hour do not equal the federal minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference. Many states, however, require higher direct wage amounts for tipped employees.

I'v heard of this happening before, and I'm afraid it's legal... sorry. The reason? Once you quit, you have left all your seniority, benefits, wages, etc. behind. When they hire you again, it's like you're starting all over... and you really are. So that's why you're paid a beginning wage. I assume that it's legal to be paid $2.15 if you're working with tips in your state... might want to check that out... because total wages and tips should be at least minimum wage.
