Press Statement from Michael Kill, CEO, Night Time Industries Association:
“The new tipping legislation coming into effect on October 1st marks a significant shift for the UK’s hospitality and night-time economy. We welcome the move towards transparency and fairness, ensuring that staff rightfully receive the tips and service charges that are intended for them. This has been a long-standing issue, and we commend the government for addressing practices that have disadvantaged many workers.”

“Many businesses have been preparing for this shift by adopting a code of best practices, supported by unions. However, some restaurants and venues, already grappling with rising wages and inflation, may be forced to take significant steps to stay afloat. It is a challenging time for our sector, but this legislation is a necessary step forward in protecting the livelihoods of workers who rely on tips.”

“We encourage businesses to continue exploring all options to ensure staff and customers benefit while maintaining the quality of service that our sector is known for. The Night Time Industries Association will remain focused on supporting businesses and workers as we adapt to this new landscape, ensuring a fair and sustainable approach for all.”
