The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) warmly welcomes the Government’s announcement that restaurants and bars will no longer be able to pay below the minimum wage and make up the difference using employee’s tips.
An overwhelming majority of members (99 per cent) do not use tips to subsidise wages and a significant number (85 per cent) said they are in favour of legislation changing.
Members believe it will have a positive impact on their business and are keen to create a level playing field between small businesses who pay a fair hourly rate, and big companies who use tips to avoid paying wages.
