Previously, these tips were put in a tip jar and used for a staff outing. My employer managed the jar, but sometimes also used the tips to eliminate a cash deficit and, reportedly, even to pay a traffic fine. Recently, we have had to enter the tip on the cash register and include the tip as cash when counting the cash, otherwise we will have a cash deficit. We then have to put the deposit in the safe with a note stating how much tip we have received. According to the manager, the tip is then disconnected from the deposit by the administration department and processed in the administration. Is this construction permitted?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Good morning,\n\n Your employer cannot decide what happens to your tips.\n\n Apparently your employer has really taken steps to not pay the tips.\n\n I'll think about the solution and get back to you.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThank you for your reply. I await your further response with interest.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Good morning,\n\n Based on BW 7 631-2, tips are employee income.\n\n It also depends on why the employer has arranged it this way. I have written letters before to do something about this.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Thanks for your response. I have a meeting with my employer later this week about the tip. I'll wait and see what he has to say.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55017120629085,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-47661-ik-ben-werkzaam-in-een-restaurant-waar-we-regelmatig-fooi-krijgen-voorheen-werd-deze-fooi-in-een-fo","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
