No. Your employer can neither take your tips (or any part of them), nor deduct money from your wages because of the tips you earn. Furthermore, your employer cannot credit your tips against the money the employer owes you. Labor Code Section 351

Can an employer force you to pay fica?

An employer is required by law to subtract FICA from your paycheck (or pay it himself and add the amount as additional income on your W-2) as well as pay his own share. Your employer will deduct the amount from your salary with or without your consent. In rare cases where the employer cannot deduct FICA from your salary (for example, you work mostly on tips and your salary is less than what you owe for FICA), your employer will simply report the uncollected amount to the IRS on your W-2 and whether you pay or not is between you and the IRS. Similarly, if you have unreported tips or self-employment, your employer will not get involved in whether or not you pay.

Do the wage and tips have to equal minimum wage?

This differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.In the United States, federally, the wage and tips have to equal at least minimum wage. Your employer HAS to pay you the difference of your tips from minimum wage, if you didn't end up meeting minimum wage.Example: If minimum wage is $8.00 and after that hour, you only received $6 in tips, then your employer owes you $2.00 for that hour. This can also be figured per shift totals. Exa: $8.00/hr per 8 Hour shift = $64/shift. If you only received $50 in tips that whole shift, then your employer owes you $14 for that shift.In Ontario, Canada, tips do not count towards regular wages. Your employer must pay you at least minimum wage beforetips.

Can a business demand an employee report all gratuity when that employee earns an hourly wage?

This depends on the state. In some states, such as the state of New York, the Department of Labor forbids employers from withholding gratuity from employees who are allowed tips. Furthermore, employers must have a policy regarding tips. If you work in NY and you can prove your employer is withholding gratuity, there are legal remedies you can use which may cover attorney fees, liquidated damages and an amount equaling the withheld gratuity. Furthermore, if you can prove it, you can confront your employer about it. If your employer were to then fire you, you could file a wrongful termination suit as well as illegally withheld gratuity. However, your employer is well within his/her legal right to deduct transaction fees if the gratuity was paid via a credit card.
