Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia
Tipping out to salaried employees
I work in a restaurant where the GM works behind the bar as a bartender. So, in addition to a salary he gets the same tips as the other bartenders, as well as server tip outs. I was just curious as to whether or not it is illegal to tip out salaried employees?

Re: Tipping out to salaried employees
Why would it be (as long as these tips are properly reported as required to the tax authorities as part of such an employee's income)?
