No, if their total compensation with tips winds up being below minimum wage the employer has to pay them enough to get them up to minimum wage. Do companies abuse this, probably, but according to the law they need to be paid at least minimum wage. Waiter/waitresses need to declare their tips to their employer so that they can make sure they are getting paid at least minimum wage.
