The Caterer Tipping and Payment Summit

On 1 October the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act come into force, setting out strict guidelines on how employers must handle tips and service charge.

Businesses not complying with the legislation could face hefty fines and negative publicity.

This online event will tell you exactly what you need to put in place to be compliant with the new rules and the government-mandated code of conduct.

Our experts will also discuss how to communicate effectively with employees and guests about service charges and tips, and detail any additions that could be made to the bill by the new Labour government.

In this summit, you will learn:

  • What procedures will be compliant with the new legislation
  • How the legislation has been amended since its proposed introduction earlier this year
  • What to consider when deciding whether to use troncs or allocate tips directly
  • Where you should publish your written policy on tipping
  • How to communicate changes to your workforce
  • How to explain your tipping policy to guests
