Rights of Hospitality Workers
-
All workers have the right to receive, at a minimum, an average of $7.25 for every hour worked in a week, even if you are paid piece-rate (for example, if you are paid by the room).
-
If you are a tipped employee, your cash wage must be at least $2.13 per hour. The sum of your cash wage and your tips must equal $7.25 per hour, the minimum wage.
-
Your employer must pay you for any 鈥渙ff the clock鈥� work, for example morning meetings or the time it takes to stock your cart.
-
Hospitality workers have the right to overtime pay. This means that your employer has to pay you time and a half for each hour worked over 40 hours in a week. If you are paid by the room, your overtime rate is based on your regular rate of pay (your hourly rate in that workweek).
-
Write down your hours to know that you are receiving enough pay.
-
Generally, if your employer deducts the cost of tools, uniforms, or equipment related to the job from your check you should still make $7.25 per hour after those deductions.
-
Your employer cannot retaliate against you for standing up for your rights or for complaining about the minimum wage, discrimination, or other violations of your rights.
