Bill Summary

Relative to the pooling of tips. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts law to clarify that a supervisor in a quick service restaurant who serves patrons or customers and whose job duties do not qualify them as an executive employee can be considered a "wait staff employee" for the purposes of tip pooling. It also defines a "quick service restaurant" as an establishment that sells food or beverages primarily over a counter or drive-up window, with minimal or no direct table service, where employees are paid at least the minimum required hourly wage for non-service employees. Additionally, the bill states that nothing in the law prohibits an employer from establishing a policy prohibiting the acceptance of gratuities.
