Tip Regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act





Wage and Hour Division [ https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/ ]

The Fair Labor Standards Act allows employers who meet certain criteria to take a partial credit against their minimum wage obligations for tipped employees engaged in an occupation in which they customarily and regularly receive tips. Shortly after Congress created this “tip credit” in 1966, the Department promulgated a Dual Jobs regulation recognizing that an employee may be employed both in a tipped occupation and in a non-tipped occupation, and that an employer may take a tip credit against its minimum wage obligations only for the time the employee works in the tipped occupation. 

In 2021, the Department published a final rule (2021 Dual Jobs Final Rule) addressing the circumstances under which an employer can take a partial credit against its minimum wage obligations based on the tips received by employees, updating the original Dual Jobs regulation. On October 29, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision vacating portions of the 2021 Dual Jobs Final Rule with the effect of reinstating the Department’s original Dual Jobs regulation.  

Today, the Wage and Hour Division announced a final rule [ https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.federalregister.gov%2Fpublic-inspection%2F2024-29798%2Ftip-regulations-under-the-fair-labor-standards-act-restoration-of-regulatory-language&data=05%7C02%7CTrimble.Colin%40dol.gov%7C1511c6bb2c5846626f9108dd1ddb6bc0%7C75a6305472044e0c9126adab971d4aca%7C0%7C0%7C638699550420968952%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2fuw2iZgAJF51USViEXRIysArLOS7Y3mGoh%2BhjfeN5w%3D&reserved=0 ] that removes the 2021 Dual Jobs Rule from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and reinstates regulatory text as it existed in the CFR prior to the effective date of the 2021 Dual Jobs Rule. This action is a technical correction consistent with the Fifth Circuit’s decision.
