That rarely gets enforced. Employers don't want to pay, employees want to enhance their wages by not paying taxes.

And in many cases, not reporting your tips as income and paying income tax on them is illegal...of course, not much chance of getting caught.

IIRC, reporting lower-than-expected tips increases the probability of a tax audit, and required tip reporting for payroll and other tax purposes makes it not-that-hard for employee underreporting to be detected and established in the event of such an audit.
