Dana Kravetz and Lara Shortz’s article, “Bridging the divide: Tip pooling and wage inequality,” was published in Nation’s Restaurant News on April 26, 2017.
From the article . . .
While it’s common knowledge that those in the chain of service – waitstaff, captains, bussers, bartenders and runners – are the beneficiaries of tipping and associated tip pools, most diners have no idea that it’s against the law for gratuities to trickle down to so-called “back-of-house” workers – chefs, cooks, dishwashers and porters.
In 2011, the Department of Labor issued regulations that prohibit employers from forcing tipped employees to share gratuities with non-tipped staff. In 2016, the Ninth Circuit upheld that rule in Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association v. Perez.
