National Minimum Wage (Protection of Employee Tips) Bill 2017: Second Stage

Exactly. Good employers have nothing to fear. This legislation will have no significant additional impact on or conditions for good employers in the sector. Workers in such establishments will continue to take home tips they have earned. However, a bad employer who does not pass on tips to a worker would rightly be legally obliged to do so from now on.
I am asking for cross-party support. I wish to acknowledge the work of my colleague, Senator Ó Clochartaigh, who worked with me tirelessly and was instrumental in the survey in Galway that produced such shocking results.
