When it does, employers will be required to pass tips on to workers. Employers of businesses where tips are left more than occasionally will be required to have a tipping policy in place, and workers will have the right to request a copy of their tipping record should they believe they are not receiving correct compensation and wish to bring a claim to an employment tribunal. Hospitality business owners should also expect to follow a new statutory Code of Practice when distributing tips.
