I just got my first paycheck at my new job at this restaurant, where the waitresses share their tips with me because I help them out a lot as hostess & busser and stuff. Now, I knew one had to pay taxes on one's tips with this sort of job, but on my check it says that they've deducted the FULL AMOUNT of my tips along with taxes. WTF?! How is this legal? Do I get my damn tip money back at the end of the year?!
Here's how my check looks:
Earnings: rate hours this period
Regular 8.00 39.5 316.00
Tips 26.68
Gross Pay: 342.68
Deductions:
Statutory:
Federal Income Tax -9.06
Social Security Tax -21.25
Medicare Tax -4.97
CA SUI/SDI Tax -2.06
Other:
Tips -26.68
Net Pay: 278.66
Alright, so I really don't get how this works.Why are they taking all my money away from me?
