NO, it is not legal at all. Talk to your boss and tell her of the error. Go through all of your paperwork and see what you can piece together and find out what wasn't accurate. Have this ready when you approach her. Go online and find out what agencies are in your area that protect employees from this kind of thing. If your boss refuses to fix this problem, report it.

#1 Call A Lawyer who specializes in employment law.

Something makes no sense here. There is no reason for your boss to over-report your tips because he will have to pay the employer's portion of social security and medicare taxes on it.

NO! Tell your district manager or whoever her manager is and write a letter to the corporate office! This is big time illegal and needs to stop immediately!
