Federal Minimum Wage The federal minimum wage for restaurant servers and other employees who receive tips is $2.13 as of 2011. To qualify for the reduced minimum, servers must receive at least $30 in tips monthly. Servers must average $5.12 per hour in tips for every hour they work to bring them up to the federal minimum wage of $7.25. If the server does not average the federal minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference. States Without Tip Credit Allowance Seven states do no allow businesses to pay servers less than the state minimum wage. Employers in Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington must pay servers the state minimum wage for other occupations. In Minnesota, small employers -- those with annual receipts that are less than $625,000 -- can pay servers $5.25 per hour. Businesses in Montana with annual sales of less than $110,000 can pay servers $4 per hour and in Nevada, businesses that provide health benefits can pay servers $7.25 per hour.
