Gratuities
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the impact of upcoming changes to tipping requirements on part time workers.
Answered by Kate Dearden
It is a legal requirement for all tips, gratuities and service charges to be passed on to the workers who have earned them. They must be distributed in a fair and transparent manner between workers, including part time and full time workers.
The new requirements on tipping will mean that employers must consult with workers at their place of business when developing or revising their written tipping policies.
The purpose of this change is to increase the influence of workers, particularly those who have traditionally had less of a voice in the workplace. This will include both full-time and part-time workers.
