Workplace Justice For Colorado Workers
USA Employment Lawyers helps tipped and hourly employees across Colorado recover wages they are owed. Colorado’s minimum wage is well above the federal floor, and when employers misuse the tip credit or fail to make up the difference, we step in to protect your paycheck.
Your tips are yours,
and we make sure of it.
We represent workers throughout Colorado in wage and hour disputes, with a focus on tipped employees in restaurants, bars, and hospitality. Colorado allows a limited tip credit, meaning tipped staff can be paid a lower base wage plus tips, but only if those tips bring earnings up to the full minimum wage. We pursue cases involving unpaid minimum wages, unlawful tip credits, illegal tip pooling, and overtime denials, holding Colorado employers to the letter of the law.
Colorado wage cases we handle.
Tip Credit Abuse
Employers must make up the difference whenever tips fail to reach the full minimum wage.
Tip Pooling
Pooling is allowed, but tips cannot be shared with cooks, dishwashers, or other non-tipped staff.
Minimum Wage
Every Colorado employee, tipped or not, is entitled to the full state minimum wage.
Overtime Pay
We pursue unpaid overtime for hours worked beyond the legal weekly threshold.
