Government legislation 'does nothing to ensure tips are retained in full by employees'

The Government has rejected criticism that new laws being drawn up regarding employee tips will fail to stop businesses denying their employees tips.

One, an organisation representing trade unions and student unions in Cork and Galway, says the Government’s efforts to block a Sinn Féin bill on workers’ tips in favour of drafting its own legislation will not address concerns over businesses who do not hand over tips received by staff during shifts.
