A number of restaurant workers at The Ivy Collection claim bosses have slashed the percentage of service charge they receive.
Staff at the restaurant group, which has more than 40 restaurants across the UK and Ireland including The Ivy Spinningfields Manchester, alleged that their share was cut following the rise of the legal minimum wage in April, which saw the National Living Wage for those aged 23 and over rise from £9.50 to £10.42.
Ivy employees told the Guardian that their wages had ‘not appeared to have risen’ following the minimum wage increase. Troia (UK) Restaurants Limited, which is the parent company of The Ivy Collection, said all staff members are ‘guaranteed’ to be paid above the national minimum wage.
