- In the hospitality industry, placements are classified as tipped position (waiters/servers, bellman, bartenders) and non-tipped positions (kitchen, housekeeping, etc.) Minimum wage prescribed by the US government is $ 7.25 per hour for non-tipped positions and $ 2.13 per hour for tipped positions. The practice amongst guests dining in fine-dining restaurants is to pay 10-15% of the bill amount as gratuities (tips). Persons working in tipped positions earn $ 50-100 per shift as gratuities (tips). In case a candidate in a tipped position does not earn the minimum wage, then the employer will pay the difference.

For candidates traveling in groups, we will negotiate directly with airlines/travel agents to buy tickets at competitive rates. Candidates who will be working at these host companies will have to travel according to this arrangement only. No exception can be made.
