- Keep accurate wage and hour records and retain them for at least a year;
- Pay table servers minimum wage and require them to share their tips with other employees;
- Require employees to pay for their own uniforms and deduct the cost from their paychecks;
- Increase productivity by reducing meal periods (unpaid) from one hour to 20 minutes and eliminating all other breaks;
- Since it should only take half an hour to clean up after the restaurant closes, don't pay employees for any more time than that;
- Require that any non-exempt, full-time employees who work over 8 hours a day take that time off later in the same work week;
- Don't worry about paying overtime to shift supervisors because they are paid a weekly salary;
- To prevent work from interfering with their studies, limit minors (under 16) to no more than 8 hours a day during the school year.
2. P-S: Medical Benefits. An employer required its employees to use its physicians in their hospital.
