What Kind of Work Can a Tipped Worker Work?
Skift Take
If the tip credit didn't exist, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
The tip credit may be an essential part of many restaurant operators' budgets but the use of the credit also opens the door to a world of possibilities when it comes to restaurateurs and wage-related lawsuits.
Take, for example, one of the Restaurant Law Center’s newest projects: a joint lawsuit filed with the Texas Restaurant Association against the Department of Labor over a wage regulation called the “80/20” rule, tucked under the Fair Labor Standards Act. (For context, the National Restaurant Association launched the Restaurant Law Center in January 2017 in order to make moves like this, fighting legislation in court that makes it harder for restaurateurs to operate.)
