Fair Tips Charter Campaign

EDM number 1567 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Connarty on 14/05/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment, Incomes and poverty, Industry, Pay and Service industries.

That this House welcomes the launch of the Fair Tips Charter Campaign by the Daily Mirror and Unite, while recognising there are honourable owners of hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality outlets who ensure that all gratuities are paid to their staff in addition to at least the minimum wage without deductions; is also aware that HM Revenue and Customs class service charges, cover charges, gratuities and tips all as gratuities for national insurance contributions purposes yet many hospitality establishments still treat these as extra payments to the proprietors and do not pass them on to their staff in addition to at least the minimum wage; understands that this practice is legally allowed at the moment because of regulation 31 subsection 1(e) governing the Minimum Wage Act 1998; and calls on all other trades unions and media to support the Fair Tips Charter, all hospitality outlets and their trade associations to sign up to and operate the four pledges in the Charter, and the Government to introduce amending legislation in the Queen's Speech that will ensure that all tips will be paid to staff in addition to the minimum wage.

This motion has been signed by a total of 98 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
