Yes, if you are a tipped employee, your employer may pay you less than the minimum wage as long as your tips combined with your wages equal at least the minimum wage. This is known as the "tip credit" provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). However, if your tips and wages do not add up to the minimum wage, your employer is required to make up the difference. It's important to note that state laws may have different minimum wage requirements for tipped employees, so it's important to check your state's laws.
