ok so it relies on the employer to be honest
I assume in a CEO position the board of trustees or the CFO would collect hours for the CEO
imma go ahead and say that within a company there's a good chance they would want to inflate their hours across the board, and there's no incentive to be honest because there's no way you could catch someone in this kind of lie
other than...spying on them for at least a week straight which takes massive resources
and don't get me wrong, I really really like the concept of taxation being relative to effort, I'm just not convinced this is feasible
The idea is that many employers provide employees with records of how many hours they worked, so any employee could notice their tax hours are different from their regular hours and dispute it;
in addition, the tax is on the employee and not the employer, so the business doesn’t have a string incentive to lie
But of course there are pros and cons
I think waitresses are being illegally paid below minimum wage
We don’t treat our barbers the same way and we tip them
Kinda weird how we tip the pizza delivery guy and the waitress, but not really anyone else tbh
Lol true
Like that’s what’s broken
oh
and the taxi driver
Not the minimum wage
yeah
Fucking libtards
eh, society just created that
somehow
lol
I wish I could just start a protest for it
Don’t increase minimum wage
Just pay your employees appropriately
Tipped workers are actually not subject to the minimum wage
I think the minimum hourly pay for waiters is $2.50 in most places
Yea
It’s should be minimum wage
To argue “it’s because they get a tip” is ignorance trying to argue for illegal and immoral practices
Pay them their minimum wage and then people can actually pay their bills and not ask for a minimum wage increase
Restaurants believe it’s cost affective until you realize that the turn over rate for waitresses is through the roof
44-50% of waitresses leave within a year according to Chron.com
Which... if you pay your $2.50 per hour staff appropriately they won’t
Or at least it will decrease dramatically
I think this problem of tip culture remains because it is not worth the effort to remove. It has existed in America for a hundred years and will probbaly exist for a hundred more.
I don't like to worry about niche inefficiencies like that myself.
But here’s the thing
Barbers get tips
And paid correctly
Also
Waitresses don’t get 100% of the tip on credit cards but only a small fraction of it
