Abuse Of Tipping - Government investigation launched

The Business Secretary has launched an investigation into abuse of tipping (predominantly in bars and restaurants) as part of the Government’s commitment to making sure everyone is paid fairly.

The Government has launched a call for evidence to look at how restaurants treat tips left by customers and whether Government intervention is necessary to strengthen the voluntary code of practice overseen by industry body, the British Hospitality Association. Recent investigations have revealed that it remains the practice of some major restaurant chains to withhold a proportion of tips left for staff to cover administrative costs.

I have worked with Ortolan Legal since 2010 and used their services extensively. They have provided corporate and commercial legal advice and we have also drawn on their capability in the areas of employment law, dispute resolution and property law. What makes them so different is their ability consistently to deliver commercially focussed and high quality advice at a price point which simply cannot be matched by other law firms. They aim to strip out unnecessary overhead costs, concentrate on the quality of their core service and pass on these cost savings to their clients. It works.
