Question by Lorraine J: I work in the state of Florida, my employer is deducting credit card service fees from my tips is this legal?
If yes how much % can he take and
If not where can I find info on it. Thanks.
I get paid under W2 and they already take taxes off my tips and on top they are taking 2% which I think is for credit card service fees. Is that legal?

Hope this helps.

Your situation sounds like it is not ethical. Unless it is only tips that are on the credit card.

    Are you sure it’s service fees? It is more likely you are being taxed on credit card tips. They are reported 100% of the time for tax purposes.

    The best option for you – compare different credit card offers, for example here – cards.hotusa.org
    Some of them provide much less service fees.
