Bill overview
The Small Business Flexibility Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to allow restaurants and other businesses to pool tips among their employees. Currently, tip pooling was limited to employees who regularly receive tips. This bill expands tip pooling to include employees who receive a cash wage, even if they don't typically receive tips, aiming to provide more flexibility for small businesses and improve employee earnings. It seeks to address concerns about tip distribution and provide a more equitable system.
