This wage and hour Law Firm Publication by Foley Hoag LLP discusses an April 10, 2015 decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, holding that the Massachusetts Tips Act does not prohibit employers from instituting a no-tipping policy. Meshna v. Scrivanos, filed by current and former employees of various Dunkin Donuts franchises, clarified that even when employers implement a no-tipping policy, they may not keep tips left by customers unless the no-tipping policy is first communicated clearly to customers through signs or by instructing employees to inform customers of the policy.
