If a period other than the week is used as the basis for determining wages, weekly earnings must be determined to calculate the regular rate and overtime pay.

Your employer may ask you to collect tips or share tips with servers, waiters, and other employees.
However, tips cannot be shared with business owners, supervisors or managers, even if these individuals offer waiting services to customers.
