New legislation to ensure tips and gratuities go to employees
The government has announced plans to ensure that tips left for workers will go to them in full.
While most employers act in good faith, in some sectors evidence points towards poor tipping practices, including excessive deductions being made from tips left by customers.
New legislation, to be introduced at the earliest opportunity, will set out that tips must go to the workers providing the service.
Unemployment is at its lowest since the 1970’s and wages are rising. This legislation will ensure workers get the tips they deserve and give consumers reassurance that the money they leave in good faith to reward good service is going to the staff, as they intended – ensuring that hard work is rewarded.
