Department of Labor Ends 80/20 Rule for Tipped Employees
On November 7, 2018 the U.S. Department of Labor issued an advisory opinion letter, FLSA 2018-17, that amends previous guidance regarding the “tip credit provision,” sometimes known as the 80/20 rule. The “tip credit” provision addressed the payment of minimum wage and applies to employees of a business that usually receive at least $30 per month in tips.
