This is FL law.

Just to keep this information in perspective,
the Florida hourly minimum wage for tipped employees is $5.23. Not exactly wonderful.
Quote: "Employers must pay their employees the hourly state minimum wage for all hours worked in Florida. The definitions of employer, employee, and wage for state purposes are the same as those established under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and its implementing regulations. Employers of
tipped employees, who meet eligibility requirements for the tip credit under the FLSA, may credit towards satisfaction of the minimum wage tips up to the amount of the allowable FLSA tip credit in 2003. However, the employer must pay tipped employees a direct wage. The direct wage is calculated as equal to the minimum wage ($8.25) minus the 2003 tip credit $3.02), or
a direct hourly wage of $5.23 as of January 1, 2018."
