Answer
Some employers in the hospitality sector have recently improved their tipping practices and are now passing 100 per cent of tips to their staff.
When Parliamentary time allows, we will bring forward legislation to create a clear legislative framework for employers which handle tips. This will ensure hospitality workers are properly rewarded for their efforts, and protect the vast majority of hospitality businesses who do the right thing from being undercut by a small minority shirking their responsibilities.
