On July 28, 2023, Governor Chris Sununu signed SB 269 into law.
Previously, tip pooling or tip sharing arrangements were only valid under the law if requested by an employee. With this change, employers are now permitted to discuss tip pooling or tip sharing arrangements provided they do not coerce employees into participating. It is important to note that the decision of whether to participate in a tip pool or tip share remains that of the employee. Additionally, service charges have been removed from the statutory definition of tips, meaning service charges are no longer tips and are not considered the property of the employee providing the service.
Please be aware that if the employer chooses to no longer accept tips and instead issues service fees, the employer will no longer have “tipped employees” and will be required to pay at least minimum wage.
