The minimum wage rate for tipped employees in Mississippi is $2.13 per hour.
A tipped employee is an individual whose job requires them to customarily and regularly receive more than $30 per month in tips or otherwise specified by the state. It is common for those who work in certain occupations, like waiters or bartenders, to be considered tipped employees because they often receive tips from customers. Tip rates and shift differentials (night shift, day shift, etc.) could affect total compensation in different states.
The minimum wage that employers are required to pay their tipped employees can be different depending on state law. In certain states, employers must pay their tipped workers the minimum wage even before they receive any tips. However, in other states, if the tips received by an employee do not add up to the minimum wage set by the minimum wage law, then the employer must pay the difference.
