When I waited tables this was never the case. In fact, I'm not sure how it could even possibly be the case. Your earnings, as far as the restaurant can declare, are what they cut you a check for. They cannot arbitrarily report some random amount and deduct payroll taxes from it.
Most nicer restaurants do tip pooling where the tips are actually recorded, split, and given out in the form of checks on opposite weeks of paychecks.
