Withholding tips from staff becomes unlawful as the “Tipping” Bill achieves Royal Assent. More than 2 million workers will have their tips protected and be able to view an employer’s tipping record. An estimated £200 million a year will go back into the pockets of staff by retaining tips that could have otherwise been deducted. The measures are expected to come into force in 2024, following a consultation and secondary legislation.
