Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
General Scheme of the Payment of Wages (Amendment) Bill 2019: Discussion
Mr. Clement Shevlin:
This Bill has no substance whatsoever in terms of addressing the issue of tips. It does not give any legal protection to workers and is hocus-pocus. We need to devise measures based on consultation with those working in the sector and not just with employers. The focus must be on the legal right of workers to their tips and on tips being a supplement to wages and not a replacement for them.
