If an employer charges customers 15 % gratuity can he bank all the money as his own income?

Question

I worked for a large Arizona resort for 28 years. My employer charged our guest at the resort ranch 15 % gratuity for the total on their bills. Some guests had check out bill of 10,000.00 or more. The ranch takes in 8 to 10 million dollars per year. The guest that pay this gratuity are told, or are under the impression that the employees recieve this gratuity, so therefore there is NO TIPPING allowed by the guests during their stay. The guest ranch owner does NOT give any of this gratuity to his 100 employees, he banks all the gratuity as his company income. Is this legal in the state of Arizona? Or am I owed a very large check from this gratuity theif along with my fellow employees?

Answer 1

If the owner charged a 15% service charge (regardless of what he called it) that's between him and the customer.

You are entitled to what you agreed to work for. If you agreed to work for no tips, then you are entitled to no tips.

Your employer didn't bank the money; he paid you wages. Tip workers don't get covered by the same minimum wage and hour rules as other workers.

You can't have it both ways: be a wage worker and a tip worker.

Sue the SOB! At the very least, it is misrepresentation, and at most, it is outright theft.
