Paying employees under the minimum wage is a violation of the labor standard laws. There is a law imposing the minimum wage and anything paid below the minimum is a violation.

Usually no. There are some rare cases. However, for most circumstances, nope.
According to the law if a waitress makes less then minimum wage in tips, the employers must make up the difference

If your under the age of 18, a full time student and a dependent, yes you can be paid less, but your not taxed and I don't think you can work more than 20 hours a week.

There are some businesses that are exempt from the minimum wage law.
Restaurant workers who get tips and some agraculture workers are two groups.

Like anything, I'm sure there are loopholes around it.

No. If an employer is doing that, it is a criminal act.
