💡 Georgia Wage Regulations
- Coverage Preemption: Georgia's state wage is $5.15 under O.C.G.A. § 34-4-3, but FLSA ($7.25/hr) applies to businesses with ≥$500,000 in gross volume or engaged in interstate commerce.
- Tipped Wages: Employers under FLSA pay a direct cash minimum of $2.13/hour with up to a $5.12/hour tip credit.
- Tip Shortfall: Weekly direct cash wages plus tips must equal at least the statutory rate ($7.25/hr). Employers must make up any difference.
- Overtime Rule: 1.5× regular minimum rate for weekly hours over 40. For tipped staff, direct overtime cash pay is: $(1.5 \times \$7.25) - \$5.12 = \$5.76/\text{hr}$.
- Local Preemption: O.C.G.A. § 34-4-3.1 prohibits cities and counties (e.g., Atlanta) from enacting local private-sector minimum wages.
