Please does anyone know who I can contact further about this. http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/minimum-wage-for-tipped-employees.aspx?commentid=20645#Comments http://legallad.quickanddirtytips.com/minimum-wage-for-tipped-employees.aspx?commentid=20645#Comments Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:03:28 GMT Robert legal I was wondering the same thing. i work at a golf course in Michigan where they pay me in tipped wages of $3.55/hour. Sometimes, when scheduling, our boss requires us to do work without possibility of being tipped. Is there a law against me, and my fellow employees to getting un-tipped wages during these periods?

I learned much but I still must know why I must submit to the check in the first place. Where is there legal athority to detain me at all, a store employee not a law enforcement. If what you say is true then the store must have empowerment, police powers, somewhere on their side. If I refuse to submit to the check and continue to walk any attempt to physically detain me then I will protect myself from agressive behavior, that must be my legal right. And yes you are 100 per cent correct I will take my business else where but I do get offended easily. Just because I do not shop lift does not mean that I should be happily search. Thank you for clarifying this.
