<prompt> Human: So I work as a waitress. My wage is 7hr contingent on tips. If I dont make enough in tips, its adjusted to our states minimum wage. I have over 40 hours of PTO saved up but I just found out that the PTO is only set at 7hr. If my hourly wage is contingent on tips, and Im not making any tips when I use it, shouldnt it be set at minimum wage? I tried looking online and I couldnt find anything about PTO for my state. Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated!  <response>: You only have to average minimum wage over a pay period, so if you take one day off in a pay period and get paid 7hr but still average over minimum wage it isnt a problem. If you took an entire pay period off it might have to be increased to minimum but Im not sure because there generally arent any laws about pay when not working.
