Verifying Waitress/Server Income

[Quandra Adams]

Do any of you ever require any supplemental information from servers or waitresses to corroborate their income? If so, what else do you ask for? Tax statements? 

I know servers can do pretty well making tips however I also know the pay (tips) is inconsistent so I don't want to overlook someone due to the financial situation but I also want to be sure that I'm looking in the right places to verify that the income is what they say it is.

Ask for tax returns. What they declare to the government is what they make. If they even think of saying they make more than they declare that’s a hard pass.
