The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor has proposed delaying the effective date for the "Tip Regulations Under the Fair Labor Standards Act" from March 1, 2021, to April 30, 2021. This delay aligns with a request by the President to pause many new regulations for further review. The proposed delay will provide more time to analyze how the rule, which changes how employers can handle their employees' tips, complies with recent amendments and the potential impacts on employers and employees. Interested parties can submit comments on the proposed delay by February 17, 2021.
