The U.S. Department of Labor is revising its regulations to comply with a court order that vacated parts of a 2021 rule about tipped workers. The rule originally defined when an employee could be considered to be working in two different jobs and how tips could be used to cover minimum wage requirements. Following the court's decision, the Department is returning to regulations that were in place before these changes. This update is a technical correction and does not change any current requirements for paying tipped employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Simple Explanation
The government is changing a rule back to what it used to be about how workers who get tips should be paid. This change is happening because a court said the newer rule was wrong.
