I want us to talk about employers and how they handle the tips given to their staffs. I was reading through a thread on front page that talked about dropping your phones before resuming work. In that thread I saw a comment that attracted my attention. The person said he/she works for GT plaza. He said it is a fast food. He said the company collects the tips given to staffs. I want us to talk about this.

arabaribiti:
I work with GT plaza its a fast food in Benin and has branches in abuja and lokoja you have to submit your phone and your money and even if customer dash you money you must add it to company money

Have you worked in a company where you are not allowed to accept tips?

Have you worked in a company where the company seize tips given to staffs and add it to their profit? (I think this is stealing and wickedness)

Let's talk about tips

I feel, in this present Nigeria where the cost of things have gone up badly, some companies will be paying N15,000 per month as salary. Most staffs receiving such low salaries survive by tips or begging. That's the truth. If a company seizes the tips given to staffs, I think it is wickedness.

Thats criminal... what on earth

OP it's worse than wickedness, that's witchcraft in broad daylight.



I don't tolerate nonsense, I go burst person head.

It is witchcraft for any company to seize the tips

Hmm

No

The tip belong to the worker

Very wrong.

This I have seen.

Parachoko:
No

The tip belong to the worker

Of course but no tip for urchins

Depends on policy

if company is broke and sadist

Then I will not accept tips again because of the company

The day you are given tip, you will be beg for it. That's not a good image for the company. I guess that's what they are trying to discourage

Back in those days when man was still very young, I worked as a jollyman with a man whom we practised the same profession then. He got a job from a big Rtd. Airforce officer and after the finish of job on a Saturday, the retired force man came to check our work and gave me a huge money then. Immediately the man left, the man who collected the job was like that money is for your day job and I was dumbfounded.

Some one man business usually collect tips given by customer from their staff,but some big organization allow staffs to keep tips given to them,while others have some policy in place against accepting tips from customer. So my dear it depends.

xristos:
Depends on policy

My point exactly.
Some companies have the policy of collecting all tips, but those tips are usually share back to all the staff.
So that staff of GT foods needs to come back and explain the policy around tips in their organisation.

Companies that collect tips and share it mostly do so because sometimes the customer that gives a cashier tips for good service would not have done same if the cook in the kitchen did not cook good food or if the cleaner did not do a good job keeping the place clean, thus some organisation (mostly restaurants) do this.

Before now, I would have said it was wrong to seize tips from staff. But right now, it's one of the right things to do, as a company because;

1) Some of these staff beg too much (they literally beg all customers who come their way for service). Such would definitely discourage them from doing so..

2) Theft; It is a way of monitoring these staff that are criminally minded (you catch them, they tell you it's tips from customers...

Alright

Depends where you work. Some companies have policies regarding accepting tips, gifts from clients, customers.

If you work in healthcare: hospitals, clinics etc It’s frown upon in some places. Doctors, nurses and all health care workers are not supposed to receive gifts from patients or their relatives. Money gifts are not normally accepted. Cards, flowers, chocolates, biscuits or non alcoholic drinks are given not to individuals but to the staff desk/reception.

Some companies do so because of workers that steal and their records are never balanced. Others do so because the management/supervisors are plain wicked.

a reasonable answer

Customers tip you or you beg?
🥱🥱

Why would a company collect the tip I was freely given by a customer ? In that regards I don't see that company lasting long then. For this Nigeria wey we dey. Nah workers dey ruin company and nah same workers dey make a company success and that lies in the hands of the company owner.

It depends.

Maybe they assume you steal from company money and call it tips. If there is evidence that is a tips true true then you are suppose to keep it

How company look at Employee when they get tips from customers.

See bress abeg !!

Sieving it is wrong but collecting it and putting in box and at the end of the day it is shared among staff. Reason being that some might not have dir3ct contact with the customer but they are contributing to the success of the biz. Example, the cook has no contact with the customer but the waiter does. It will be unfair for the waiter to collect all tips and the cook go home empty.
