Ogletree Deakins: California Employers Can Require Employees to Pool Tips | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses Avidor v. Sutter’s Place, Inc., in which the California Court of Appeal held that a casino could require card dealers to participate in a tip-pooling arrangement under Section 351 of the California Labor Code. Under Section 351, an employer cannot take any part of the employees' tips, but can require employees to pool their tips if the tips are shared among employees who are not in managerial positions where they may be considered the employer's agents.
