New Tipping Rules Are Here: Tronc 2024

This month the landscape of tipping and service charges has undergone a significant change with the introduction of new regulations governing how tips are distributed among staff. These changes, known as "Tronc," aim to address longstanding concerns in the hospitality industry over fairness, transparency, and compensation for workers who rely heavily on tips to supplement their income. As these new rules take effect, it is important to understand what they entail, how they differ from previous practices, and what impact they are likely to have on workers, employers, and customers.

In response to growing concerns over the fairness and transparency of tipping, the UK government introduced the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill, which outlines the new rules for how tips must be handled, effective from October 2024.
