Summary of difference between federal and state regulations
There are certain instances where employers can pay employees at a rate lower than the minimum hourly wage specified by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The most common instance pertains to an employee who earns tips. The employer can deduct the amount of the tips (but only up to a certain maximum amount) from the hourly wage.
Virginia regulations at § 40.1-28.9(D) do not mention a tip credit. It is up to the employer to determine if the employee could keep all tips received. Regardless, the employer must pay all employees the minimum wage as stated in §40.1-28.10.
