29 CFR 531.54 - Tip pooling.

  • Section Number: 531.54
  • Section Name: Tip pooling. 
    Where employees practice tip splitting, as where waiters give a 
portion of their tips to the busboys, both the amounts retained by the 
waiters and those given the busboys are considered tips of the 
individuals who retain them, in applying the provisions of section 3(m) 
and 3(t). Similarly, where an accounting is made to an employer for his 
information only or in furtherance of a pooling arrangement whereby the 
employer redistributes the tips to the employees upon some basis to 
which they have mutually agreed among themselves, the amounts received 
and retained by each individual as his own are counted as his tips for 
purposes of the Act.
