Allocation of tips

As reported in the Labour Research July 2023 issue, the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 was proposed to come into force in July 2024. But this will now happen on 1 October 2024. This change has survived the prorogation of Parliament.

The consultation outcome report is available on the gov.uk website.

This has also resulted in some updates to the statutory Code of Practice on fair and transparent distribution of tips. Employers will have to have regard to this when distributing tips.
