Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Fenn:
Absolutely. I support it 100%. It is a complex area because there are issues around people are leaving cash on a table and how that is managed. Employers do not have any hand, act, or part in that and there is a structure where employees have to look after themselves. It is easier when somebody leaves a gratuity or tip electronically or as part of the bill. The employer then has to absolutely pass all of those tips straight on to their employees. We have absolutely no issue with that and we welcome the new legislation and fully support it.
