What is the key factor in determining whether employees may be included in a valid tip pool? |
The key factor in determining whether certain employees can be included in a valid tip pool is their level of interaction with customers. For example, a federal district court in Florida recently ruled that card dealers could not be forced to share tips with cardroom floor supervisors who did not interact much with customers in the gaming establishment (see LegalSpeak, p. 262).
