I am a bartender and I am filing for bankruptcy. My income is solely based on my tips. My employer only claims 8% of my food and beverage sales on my check. Sometimes I absolutely bring home more then that. Now sometimes I am working with other employees and split my tips with them so on thoses I feel that the 8% could be justified. My question is should I file with the 8% shown on my paper trial or should I try to claim more then my employer shows? Also what will happen if the board of trustees thinks the 8% is not enough if it is filed that way? Everyone tells me I should go with what is proven on paper but I need someone to tell me that has knowledge in this field. Thank you for you time.
