There is a different, much lower minimum wage for tipped employees, but if their tips don't bring them up to the regular minimum wage, then the employer must make up the difference.
There are some workers not covered by minimum wage.
Ofr maybe the employer is just breaking the law.

Many waitresses fall in this catagory because they make tips!
Great Britain does not have a minimum wage, therefore their unemployment rate is lower.

It's usually for waiters and waitresses. The reason being is that you make tips and tips are then reported to the IRS, and then you pay withholding tax on that.

Two things: Taxes and benefits. The denial thereof.
