DOLs Tip Pool Rule Poses Tough Decision For Restaurants

Tip pooling was the topic of a recent Law 360 article that discussed the legal challenges the U.S. Department of Labor's tip pooling rule could face. The tip pooling rule bars restaurants from requiring their wait staff to share tips with employees in the back of the house. The rule might be revisited in the wake of a new administration. Louis Pechman, founder of waiterpay.com was quoted in the article discussing tip splitting by front and back of the house workers.
