No, the tip pooling policy of Woody Woo Inc. does not violate the minimum wage provision of fair labor standards Act (FLSA). There is no such provision in the Fair Labor Provision Act that prevent employer to make different arrangements for tip distribution. The wages of the servers are not less than the state’s minimum wage. Therefore, the distribution arrangement if completely fine as it is not reducing servers wage.
