As of today, Feb 21, 2011, Wait staff must receive 1/2 minimum wage ($7.25 = $3.63 hr). However the server must make the minimum $7.25 per/hr once tips and wages are combined. Any shortage of the $7.25/hr must be made up by the employer. Tips and wager divided by hours worked must equal at least $7.25/hr. The $2.13 Federal min server rate is trumped by the state of Missouri because the Federal law states the employee receives which ever is greater, state or federal.

Compensation for tipped employees must total at least $6.65 per hour. employers of tipped employees are required to pay tipped employees at least 50% of the minimum wage, or $3.325 per hour. Employers of tipped employees must pay more than half of the minimum wage to tipped employees if it is necessary to bring the employee's total compensation up to $6.65 per hour.

What is minimum wage in Illinois for a waitress?

A waitress usually makes around $2.50 to 3.50 an hour from the company itself. That's because waiters main income comes from tips. If you aren't making at least like 6.75 an hour (tips included/ whatever minimum wage is now for Missouri) then I believe the company is to pay you more. But don't quote me on that last part.
