Law
Federal law
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, tips are the property of the employee. An employer, including managers and supervisors, may not keep any portion of employees' tips for any purpose, whether or not it takes a tip credit.

No federal law requires or forbids a tip prompt at checkout. If money collected as a "tip" is retained by the business rather than paid to workers, the federal tip-ownership rule and federal and state deceptive-practice laws may apply.
