After section 27C of the Employment Rights Act 1996 insert—

(2)Where a worker is allocated an amount of employer-received tips in accordance with subsection (1), that amount is payable to the worker by the employer.
(3)In determining what would be a fair allocation of qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges under this section or section 27E (non-public places of business), regard must be had to the relevant provisions of any code of practice issued under this Part.
(4)See also sections 27E (non-public places of business) and 27F (independent troncs).

(2)The employer may comply with the requirement in section 27D(1) to ensure that the total amount of the non-public tips is allocated fairly between workers of the employer at the non-public place of business by instead ensuring that the total amount of the non-public tips is allocated fairly between both—
(a)workers of the employer at the non-public place of business, and
