Requirement to deal with tips, gratuities and service charges Non-public places of business
New section 27E distinguishes between "public places of business", where there is mainly face-to-face interaction with customers, and "non-public places of business", such as a typical company headquarters (see subsection (3)). An employer may choose to allocate amounts paid at non-public places of business between workers at the non-public place of business and workers at one or more of the employer’s public places of business, provided that this is done fairly.
