Posts - Bill - HR 85 Small Business Flexibility Act
house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We're proposing the Small Business Flexibility Act to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act, enabling the pooling of tips among all employees, not just those who customarily receive tips. This change aims to ensure a fairer distribution of tips and support the overall team effort in service-oriented businesses.

How about we pay restaurant staff a living wage and keep the tips to reward service?
