The government have changed the law meaning people in certain jobs will receive a cash boost.
More than two million people who work across the hospitality, leisure and services sectors, and are often tipped for providing a good job, will now take home more. This will include those who work in bars, restaurants and hotels as well as those who provide services such as beauty salons and taxi driving.
The government backed the new law on Friday, July 15, which would see employers banned from withholding tips from their staff. The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill, introduced by Dean Russell MP and backed by the government, will ensure that all tips go to staff by making it unlawful for businesses to hold back well-earned service charges from their employees.
