Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023

Summary

This Act creates legal requirements for how tips and gratuities given by customers must be handled and shared among workers. It aims to ensure that money customers leave as tips actually reaches the employees who provided the service, rather than being kept by the business.

A vote to support means

  • Supporting this Act means backing rules that make sure tips given to workers actually go to them, rather than being kept by employers or unfairly distributed. It protects low-paid workers like restaurant staff and bar workers from losing money that customers intended for them.

A vote to oppose means

  • Critics might worry that strict rules about tips could burden small businesses with paperwork and admin costs. Some business owners might argue it interferes with how they manage their workforce and could lead to higher prices for customers.
