I would like to see the tip credit formula change, so that the employee would be receiving 40% of the minimum wage from the employer and the balance as tip credit to total the current minimum wage. 29 USC 203(m) sectiion 3 (m) I believe is the correct location. I believe this amount would not hurt the employer and would help keep the tipped employee earning a more respectable rate.
