๐ฌ๐ง Exciting News for Hospitality Staff! ๐ฝ๏ธ
Starting in 2024, a new UK law will ensure that all businesses must give 100% of tips directly to staff. This is part of the Employment Bill, aiming for fair treatment in the industry. This applies to both cash and card tips. Employers are now required to pass on tips without any deductions, maintain fair distribution practices, and create tip-related policies.
๐ผ Employees now have the right to request information about how tips are managed. These changes will benefit all hospitality establishments, from restaurants to bars and cafes. Non-compliance could result in legal consequences for businesses.
