Jackson Lewis: Nevada Supreme Court Okays Tip Pooling | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses the Nevada Supreme Court's recent decision in Wynn Las Vegas, LLC v. Baldonado, holding an employer may impose mandatory tip pooling on employees and determine to which employees tips may be distributed. However, the court's decision left open whether an employer has complete discretion to decide which employees may receive the distributions. The court also ruled that the Nevada Labor Commissioner's interpretation of a Nevada regulation deserved deference, a ruling that has important implications for employers as certain wage and hour rights in Nevada may only be heard by the Labor Commissioner in an administrative forum.
