I am a bartender in a local pub/casino in Las Vegas. The employer forced me to sign a paper that I would give up 20% of my daily tips to them for helping when it is busy and also give up 10% to the cook. Is this legal?

It's legal, yes, as long as your total income doesn't drop below minimum wage, and as long as the tip-out isn't applied retroactively.
When I was at college I waited tables in an expensive restaurant, and HALF our tips went into a tip-out pool that was shared between the bartender, maitre'd, bus-boys, host and kitchen staff.
Good job the average bill was over $100 a cover, even back then, so I still made good money.

Have a reliable physique of suggestions. no desire for bubbly happiness, yet fake such as you're in a reliable temper. 9. Be advantageous to the youngsters. specific, many are brats, yet once you're making an attempt, the mum and dad usually take be conscious. 8. do no longer disappear for countless minutes at a time. i could desire to upload to my order, or desire a condiment. My new child could desire a spoon as a replace of a fork. If i'm no longer able to be sure you, i'm no longer able to get your interest. 7. If the table has youthful childrens (6-under), ask in the event that they could like the youngsters foodstuff introduced out first. usually the microwaved Kraft Mac&Cheese is done way till now my steak. 6. assume condiment desires.

I don't know if it is legal or not. I am not a lawyer. But, it does seem fair to share the tips. You are part of a team. It is easy to remeber the point scored at the end of the game. But, you can't play the game by yourself.

Uh, he doesn't have to let you work there. He's the boss. It's his shop. Of course you have to do what he says. If you don't like it, go get another job. But just so you know, "tip-sharing" is a routine and standard practice in the service industry. You'll not likely find a service job that doesn't include some kind of tip-out or tip-share...
