In California, tips are legally protected and must solely belong to the employee who receives them. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, managers are not allowed to take a worker's tips, and they can only retain tips directly earned from their own service. Furthermore, California labor law mandates that tipped employees must be paid at least the minimum wage, which is currently $16.50 per hour, reinforcing the protections for workers who rely on gratuities as part of their income.
The Fair Labor Standards Act prohibits managers and supervisors from taking an employee's tips, ensuring that gratuities are the sole property of the employee they are given to.
According to California labor law, managers can only keep tips received directly for services they provide, but they cannot receive their employees' tips through tip pooling.
