Few things are worse than working countless hours as a waitress or bartender only to discover that you have been a victim of wage theft. Many times people don't even realize that their wages have been "stolen."
The Houston,
Texas restaurant wage theft lawyers in our office have handled many cases where servers seek help after learning that they missed out pay because of the unlawful acts of their employers. Wage theft occurs anytime you perform work without getting paid. Some of the more common situations include:
- Being required to clock in for your shift after you have already been working for a period of time
- Having to share tips with employees who are paid by the hour
- When your boss requires you to enter a "tip pool" - you are told that you must share your tips, but you are not sure to whom those tips are going
- Your boss asks you do extra work, even though your shift has already ended.
The best way to protect yourself from wage theft in Houston is to learn your rights as a tipped worker.
