Tipping in West Virginia
Minimum wage laws protect all employees. Employees are entitled to earn the full minimum wage per hour as set by federal or state law. Currently, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. The minimum wage in West Virginia is $8.00 as of January 1, 2015, and it will increase to $8.75 on January 1, 2016. West Virginia employees are entitled to the state minimum wage because it is higher than the federal minimum wage.
In West Virginia, employers must pay tipped employees at least 70% of the minimum wage. As of 2016, in West Virginia, employers must pay tipped employees at least $6.13 an hour, but may take a tip credit of $2.62, as long as the employee makes at least $8.75 with tips.
In West Virginia tip pooling is also legal. Many states allow this. All employees subject to the pool have to chip in a portion of their tips, which are then divided among a group of employees. Again, the employee must be able to keep at least the full minimum wage.
