Allocation of Tips Resource Pack (2026 Changes)

Prepare your business for the upcoming changes to tipping legislation with this practical, ready-to-use resource pack.

The Government has confirmed further changes to the law on the fair allocation of tips, with additional requirements expected to come into force by the end of 2026. These changes build upon the existing tipping legislation and place greater emphasis on transparency, employee consultation and keeping your tipping arrangements under regular review.

What's Included in the Pack?

This comprehensive resource pack includes everything you need to help prepare your business for the upcoming changes:

• Updated Allocation of Tips Policy incorporating the expected 2026 requirements.
• Individual Employee Consultation Document to gather feedback when consulting employees on a new or revised tipping policy.
• Consultation Outcome Document Template to communicate the outcome of the consultation to affected employees.
• Comprehensive Breakdown of the 2026 Changes, explaining the new legal requirements, what employers need to do and the practical steps to achieve compliance.

Why You Need This Pack

If your business receives and allocates qualifying tips, gratuities or service charges, these changes are likely to affect you.

Under the new requirements, employers will be expected to:

• Have a written tipping policy where the legislation applies to their business.
• Clearly explain within that policy how consultation with employees will be carried out.
• Consult with affected employees whenever introducing a new tipping policy or reviewing an existing one.
• Review their tipping policy at least once every three years.
• Provide all affected employees with a consultation outcome document following the consultation.

These changes are intended to improve transparency, ensure employees have a meaningful opportunity to contribute to tipping arrangements and help employers demonstrate compliance with the legislation.

This resource pack provides professionally drafted templates that can be adapted to your organisation, saving you time whilst helping you prepare for the new legal requirements. Whether you are implementing a tipping policy for the first time or updating your existing arrangements, this pack provides the practical documents you need to support the process.
