As I already stated, in FL, the total of the server's hourly rate (a few bucks per hour) plus their tips must add up to the minimum hourly wage or the employer must make up the difference. Therefore, their pay can have 3 components: their regular hourly wage, their tips, and any make up money, if required, by their employer. They are guaranteed to make at least the minimum wage. This is FL law.
