Fair Allocation of Tips Policy
On 1 October 2024, the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 came into force. Under the Act, employers have a duty to ensure that all qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges are allocated and distributed fairly between workers.
Employers are required to have a written tips policy in place where tips are paid on more than an occasional and exceptional basis and to make this available to its workers. The policy must set out certain information, including how it determines the allocation and distribution of tips, gratuities and service charges
This Fair Allocation of Tips Policy includes the following sections:
- Introduction
- Payment of Tips by Customers
- Collection and Allocation of Tips
- Payment of Tips
- Record keeping and data protection
- Requests to view tipping record
- Policy review
- Resolving issues
If employers are not required to have a policy in place, they must inform workers of this fact and the reasons why.
