I'm an exotic dancer and the club I work at makes me tip out the house and doesn't pay me minimum wage. Is this legal?

 

A:

Many exotic dancers have filed wage claims against clubs because employers misclassified them as independent contractors. Many employers also make dancers tip out the club and charge house fees or late fees for missing shifts.

Several courts have ruled that exotic dancers, waitresses and DJs at strip clubs are considered employees of the club and should be paid minimum wage and overtime pay.
