Under the Tipping Act, the government must introduce a new code of practice to help ensure that employers are distributing tips fairly and transparently.
Here is a summary of the report:
- The Tipping Act, effective from October 1, 2024, ensures fairness and transparency in distributing tips, covering England, Scotland, and Wales.
- It mandates employers to follow a Code of Practice, requiring them to pass on tips to workers without deductions (except for income tax) and ensure fair distribution.
- Employers must maintain written tipping policies, record all tips, and provide access to these records to workers.
- The Act encompasses various scenarios, including cash and non-cash tips, and addresses the entitlements of agency workers.
- Methods for distributing tips, such as troncs, are regulated to ensure fairness and independence.
- Transparency requirements include having a written tipping policy and maintaining clear records accessible to all staff.
- Workers have recourse through internal resolution processes or, if necessary, via employment tribunals to address any issues regarding tip allocation.
