What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I work for a large hotel company and I am a tipped employee. All of our tips are processed and given to us in a weekly check. Being a restaurant, servers and bartenders have a percentage taken from their checks to 'tip out' support staff. We all agree to this in our employment contract. The issue is this: our payroll department refuses to show us what amount has been taken from our earned tips (and given to support staff) and what about we were given as a 'tip out'. Each week it is a mystery as to how much of our earned money has been taken from us. On top of this, there are continual errors in payment. Nearly every week an employee is underpaid due to an error in payroll. This is usually because they did not properly split tips and only one employee received the tips. They then take money from the over-tipped employee and give it to the under-tipped employee in the next pay period. This often happens with no communication with the over-tipped employee.
Can they refuse to show us what they are doing with our money?! It seems insane to me.
