Termination occurs when an employer or employee ends an employee's employment with a particular employer. Termination can be voluntary or involuntary depending on the circumstances.
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (â. â) has announced that the minimum wage in Florida will remain at $8.05 per hour for 2016. The minimum wage for employees who earn tips will remain at $5.03 per hour.
For example, assume a waitress in Florida makes $5.03 per hour. In one week, she works 40 hours and earns $80 in tips, bringing her total pay for the week to $281.20. When her total pay is divided by the number of hours she worked, her hourly rate only amounts to $7.03 â well below the Florida minimum wage of $8.05. Therefore, her employer is responsible for paying her a âminimum wage makeupâ of $40.80 on her paycheck; however, when she receives her paycheck, her employer did not pay her the additional âminimum wage makeup.â
