<\/span>Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023<\/span><\/h2>\n

To keep wages fair and honest, the UK government has passed the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023, also known as tronc legislation. Tronc schemes are used to pool and distribute tips, gratuities, and service charges among hospitality industry employees, but they have faced scrutiny for their history of inequitable distribution, leading to legal accountability. The new legislation, which goes into effect on October 1, 2024, enforces the distribution of 100% of tips and service fees to employees. Peter Davies, a troncmaster at WMT, summarizes the primary effect of the legislation: \u201cConsumers and workers will now know that the money their guests pay will principally go to the team. Businesses are not allowed to keep any of the money for any reason. This will give teams more visibility and transparency over their pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t
