Tipping in restaurants.

Well done Carenin Rossa De Oliveria and her two colleagues. Hopefully more hospitality workers who don’t get their tips will go to the WRC.

It’s behind a paywall but here’s the main points;

‘’An ex-employee of theme restaurant Karen's Diner, which sells itself on the performance of rude service, has secured a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) ruling that she is due hundreds of euro in unpaid tips, in the third such decision against the chain.

The worker, Carenin Rosa De Oliveira, quit her job at Karen’s Diner on O’Connell Street in Dublin after going six months without receiving her share of the money, which she was meant to receive according to her ex-employer’s tipping policy, she told the WRC.’’

‘’She (The adjudicator) upheld three separate complaints by Ms Rosa de Oliveira under the Payment of Wages Act, awarding her a total of €796 for the breaches.

In decisions issued in March and April this year, the restaurant’s management was directed to pay over €1,200 to two other staff on foot of similar complaints.’’
