Gratuities for workers to be under employment standards…

The BC Government has made a commitment to strengthen worker’s rights in respect to the tips you give your server after a meal out. Tips have not been on the check in BC like other place like France, However electronic billing has come to be a big part of the collection and sharing of tips. Sharing tips with the cooking staff and the house is a current practice now in some places. The Government is working on this along with four other issues.
better protect children and youth from dangerous work;
make it easier for workers to get help when they feel their rights have been violated;
provide more job protection to people dealing with difficult personal circumstances; and
ensure people are paid the wages they are owed — and that those that violate the law do not have an unfair economic advantage…
