Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would set clear rules for tips, gratuities and service charges in workplaces. It would require employers to show their tipping policy, share card tips fairly and openly with staff, give workers written statements about how tips were divided, and stop employers from taking tips for themselves except in limited cases such as card-processing costs. It also extends transparency rules to some contract workers and lets workplace inspectors handle complaints and enforcement.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to provide further protection for employees in relation to the payment of wages; to provide for the treatment of certain voluntary payments made to or left for employees and contract workers; to provide for obligations on employers relating to the fair distribution of certain tips and gratuities; to provide for obligations on employers and certain other persons to inform the public of the treatment of tips and gratuities and, for those purposes, to amend the Payment of Wages Act 1991, the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994 and the Workplace Relations Act 2015; and to provide for related matters.
