When my wife worked as a waitress, she was paid $1.95 an hour by the restaurant, so yes.

She was paid 1.95/hr plus, she was given access to the clientele that paid the rest of her salary. Something you can't get without the business giving you that privilege.

The business had the benefit of lower payroll taxes and not paying for benefits.
