ICYMI: President Rodrigo Duterte has signed a bill that would allow workers in hotels, restaurants and other related establishments to receive 100 percent of the service charge collected from customers. | NCorralesINQ

Those who are classified as managers or those “who lay down and execute management policies or to effectively recommend such managerial actions” are not included among those who will receive share in the service charge.

Senator Joel Villanueva, who chairs the Senate committee on labor, said that with the signing of the law, the government put an end to the 40-year struggle of hospitality workers. “Sa wakas, natapos na rin po natin ang laban ng ating mga manggagawa sa services sector na matagal nang hinihiling ang buong pagbabahagi ng service charge sa mga nagbibigay ng serbisyo sa mga restaurant, hotel, at mga katulad na establisyimento,” Villanueva said in a statement.

NCorralesINQ Why it didnt happen 20 yrs ago when I was still working. On the ship I used to work when the management changed, we had to declare our tips and if the guests cancelled the grats we have to surrender it so it can added to the pooling system. Unfair.

NCorralesINQ I think the word is 'require' establishments to pass on service charges to those who render the services. Some establishments do it anyway so in that sense they're allowed; the trick is to make it compulsory for all establishments that steal the service charge.

NCorralesINQ I thought this was the practice already. Does this mean we are off tipping?
