Unless you’re talking about somewhere other than the US or you have some crazy locality, this doesn’t sound right.
In the US, the employer is legally obligated to make up the difference between what the employee earned (wage plus claimed tips) and minimum wage. In fairness to your point, that’s not a big help since the federal minimum wage is a joke. If they’re failing to do that, they’re breaking the law.
Additionally, taxes should be a percentage of their earnings. How would they be ending up with zero dollar paychecks after 40 hours?
I will just point you to an easy to digest video on this subject. https://youtu.be/89R9ZxKaIOw
