Restaurants forced to give all tips to staff
UK restaurants must soon give all tips to staff. It will be illegal for restaurants to keep tips. Many restaurants keep the tips customers put in tip jars. Some restaurants use the tips to pay workers. Restaurant workers are very low paid. They need the tips to survive. Over two million people in the UK work in restaurants. Many staff are happy with the new law. They are fed up with chain restaurants keeping their tips. Workers went on strike earlier this year because of low pay. The new law will make sure restaurant workers are treated fairly and keep all of their tips. Restaurants say a new law is unnecessary because working conditions are fair. |
