	Is it legal for my boss to take our tips home and bring them back 3 days later already "split"? I work at a small diner in Oregon, i work at minimum wage which is $8.95 and trust me i'm not complaining but some fellow co-workers and I feel as if were are getting jipped some tips. We have a tip pool at our restaurant which we put all tips left on tables into a jar and our manager will empty it at the end of the lunch shift and at the end of the night and put all the tips into a small money purse which she will take home and she will evenly distribute among everyone so more than just hosts/hostesses she includes kitchen staff and herself in this category. I have researched that she is entitled to tips tho because she does pour an occasional beer every once in a while and works in the kitchen mostly I don't so much mind sharing my tips with the kitchen staff but I feel as if we are getting jipped by the manager and she isn't fairly distributing tips among workers. I have also read up on tip pools and I believe that they need to be completely voluntary for participation I'm not sure if that's true or not but some clarification would be nice. Is there a certain department I can call to ask some of my questions? I need this job and don't want to be fired I just want to be paid fairly. Also we are never aware of how much money is ever in our tip jar! She never tells us our total value for tips made in a single day leaving only for speculation. 2 answers - Asked By: Marcus - 4/2/2013
