Discover how new UK regulations will ensure fair tip distribution in the hospitality industry.
Starting October 1, 2024, the UK government will implement new regulations to ensure fair and transparent distribution of tips, gratuities, and service charges in the hospitality industry.
Key points include fair distribution of tips among staff, prohibition of deductions for business costs, and the requirement for employers to establish a written tip policy accessible to all workers. Employers must also maintain records of tip distribution for three years and ensure that service charges are distributed without administrative cost deductions.
To comply, businesses should draft a clear tip distribution policy, review current practices, maintain accurate records, and communicate the new regulations to their staff. The legislation aims to protect workers’ rights and ensure they receive the full benefit of their hard work, fostering a fair working environment.
