Understand common challenges under the FLSA for employers of tipped employees.
Love it or hate it, tipping is probably not going away any time soon. For employers, tipping creates both tax and employment law risks, in part because employees are partially in control of tips. Gain an understanding of tax compliance for tips, including what is and is not a tip, how tips are taxed and who is responsible for reporting. We will also focus on employment law compliance with tips, and the most common mistakes employers make and how to avoid them.
