The Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 (c. 13) (sometimes known as the Tipping Act) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom designed to ensure tips, gratuities and service charges are allocated to workers.
Several employers such as Pizza Express and Giraffe were accused of abusing a voluntary code of conduct.[1] Wahaca was criticised for taking deductions from certain employees' tips, although they had changed the policies by 2024.[1]
Provisions
Under the law, a statutory code of practice will provide guidance on implementation[2]
Agency workers are also included by the legislation.[1]
It is unclear if the legislation will require sharing tips with employees on maternity leave.[3]
Employment law is devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly, so the act does not apply to Northern Ireland.[4]
