I said it in another thread but I have a bad feeling about this one. It seems like a way to give companies more of an excuse to rely on tips to pay their workers. How about instead we make the companies responsible for the tax on tips? That’ll put an end to this miserable practice real quick.
I’m not a lawyer or politician but this sounds brilliant to me. If the company is responsible for paying taxes for any received tips, without being able to garnish the tips to pay it, then you’re effectively putting more money in the hands of the staff but also making accepting tips over paying workers less practical. I love it.
