If you are getting paid at the lower hourly rate for servers plus tips, the question is do you get tips for this other work? If not, I would tell employer you are entitled to be paid at regular minimum wage for the non tipped work. You can also make a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division or go to an employment law attorney to check out your legal remedies.
