Governor Cuomo is calling for workers who get tips to be paid at least minimum wage. Minimum wage at the end of the year the state's minimum wage -- outside of the New York City area -- goes to ten-dollars and 40-cents an hour. But the minimum wage for tipped employees will be substantially less. Cuomo says there's no reason for employers in certain industries to pay their employees less. He's having the Commissioner of Labor look into ending the practice.
