Bill > H1747

This bill clarifies the definition of a "wait staff employee" under Massachusetts law, specifically within Chapter 149, Section 152A. The proposed changes aim to further protect employees' rights to their tips by defining a wait staff employee as someone who serves food or drinks directly to customers, clears tables, works in a place that serves prepared food or beverages, and importantly, has no managerial duties on days they perform these service tasks. This amendment seeks to ensure that individuals primarily engaged in direct customer service roles, and not in management, are clearly recognized as eligible for tips earned through their work.
