Re: Gratuity Distribution

So long as no employee ends up with less than minimum wage and so long as no collective bargaining agreement or employment contract is violated,there are no other individual laws regarding the distribution of tips.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
