Requirement to deal with tips, gratuities and service charges Section 10: General Relationship with contractual rights
Section 27V relates to the relationship between this legislation and contractual rights.
	Subsection (1) provides that, if the worker has a contractual right to receive an amount of qualifying tips under their contract of employment ("contractual tips"), any entitlement they have to be allocated qualifying tips under this legislation does not affect their right to the contractual tips.
	Subsection (2) provides that any entitlement of the worker to qualifying tips can be discharged through the payment of contractual tips, and vice versa. This means that an employer is not required to pay the worker a fair allocation of the qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges in addition to the contractual tips which the worker is entitled to, to the extent that the worker’s contractual right already comprises a fair allocation.
