Question about tip sharing, need help. Thank you
Recently started a job at a restaurant where we do tip sharing on top of our hourly wage. I received my check via direct deposit this past Sunday and noticed it was unusually low ($94 for a two week pay period) so I pulled up the paystub to see the breakdown of the pay. Noticed that the Direct Deposit I received was only for the tip sharing payout.
Last week my manager said the latest I should receive my check was Monday, but now it’s already Tuesday and the only thing I’ve gotten is just the tip sharing portion of my check. Not the hourly wage check. 540
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this while working at a restaurant?
For a little context I’m usually on the register, but also replenish items like cups and utensils, to-go boxes, straws and a few other items. I also sometimes help out BOH as well as working 'on the line' packaging pickup orders, as well as being a food runner for dine in customers. We’re understaffed here so a lot falls onto the ones who work here and this is my fourth week lol.
But is it common or typical to sometimes receive two different Direct Deposits when the restaurant does tip sharing? I’m going in tomorrow a little early to talk to my manager and see what’s going on with my check. But also to let them know that I’ll probably be looking for something else that isn’t as fast paced or demanding since we’re really understaffed. I just would hate to seem like an employee who’s complaining even though I haven’t been here long or an employee who’s difficult to work with since I’ll be bringing up two different concerns to their attention but I know I need to vocalize what I’m thinking and feeling about this particular job.
But thanks in advance for any advice, I really appreciate it 203
