New law guaranteeing workers 100% of tips comes into force

If an employer breaks the law, workers can take their claim to an employment tribunal.

Workers in the service industry can now receive 100% of their tips and service charges as a new law comes into effect, banning business owners from keeping the cash.

Employees working in hospitality, tourism and the beauty industry can legally challenge their employer and get up to £5,000 worth of compensation if bosses refuse to give them their tips within a month.
