1Opinion of the CourtUtter, J.
W.A.S., Inc., d/b/a Henry's Off Broadway Restaurant (Henry's), seeks review of a Court of Appeals decision affecting the payment method for their parking valets. The Court of Appeals upheld the Superior Court which ruled that the 1974 amendments to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) render illegal a payment scheme in which the tips received by the valets become the employer's property and are used to fulfill the employer's minimum wage obligations. Winans v. W.A.S., Inc., 52 Wn. App. 89, 758 P.2d 503 (1988). We granted discretionary review and now affirm the Court of Appeals.
