Title: Tip Regulations Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) 
Abstract:

Section 3(m) of the FLSA, 29 U.S.C. 203(m), provides in part that an employer may take a partial tip credit (tip credit) against its minimum wage payment obligation to a tipped employee based on tips received and retained by the employee.  Congress, as part of the recently passed FY 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act, amended the text of the Fair Labor Standards Act with respect to tips.  The Department’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will withdraw its 2017 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and propose to align its regulations with this recent statutory amendment.
