Tips Policy Exemption Statement

Inform workers when a written tipping policy is not required

A Tips Policy Exemption Statement is a document used by employers to inform workers when a written tipping policy is not required at their place of business. Where your business does not directly control or allocate tips, a clear exemption statement allows you to set out your approach and confirm how tips are handled within your organisation.

Employers can use the Tips Policy Exemption Statement to formally communicate this to their workers. Explain why your business falls outside of formal tipping policy requirements, how tips are received by staff, and what role, if any, the business plays in their distribution. This helps ensure transparency for employees while demonstrating that your processes are fair, consistent, and understood by everyone.
