Program Summary

In this webinar, we discuss how the Department has divided work performed by a tipped employee into 3 categories: tip producing work (employers may always take a tip credit for this work, i.e., customer service work), directly supporting work (employers may take a tip credit if this work, i.e., side work, is not performed for a substantial amount of time), and non-tipped work (for which employers may never take a tip credit, i.e., work that is not in either of the prior two categories).

Critically, under the new rule, work that falls into the directly supporting work cannot be performed for a “substantial amount of time,” which the Department has defined as more than 20% of the workweek or more than 30 consecutive minutes. The webinar discusses how to calculate the 20% workweek, addresses suggested ways to address operational challenges in complying with the new rule, and points out areas of ambiguity that will likely be litigated. The webinar also touches on other new rules recently published by the Department, including rules on tip pooling and civil money penalties for keeping tips.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • 2021 Dual Jobs New Rule
  • Civil Money Penalties Rule
  • 2020 Tip Final Rule--Tip pooling
