What are the overtime laws for waiters and waitresses?

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the overtime laws for waiters and waitresses is that employers must pay them overtime. The laws also set the overtime rate of pay which is $7.25 per hour. This can be straight pay or a combination of a lower wage and tips.  Deductions made from wages for items such as cash shortages, required uniforms, or customer service walk-outs are illegal if the deduction reduces the employee’s wages below the minimum wage or cuts into overtime pay.
