What is the difference between tip pooling vs Tronc?
Tip pooling:
Informal
Unregulated
No guarantee of fairness or transparency
Tronc:
Formal, regulated arrangement under the law
Must be fair and transparent
Can provide NIC savings, because tips aren’t paid directly by the employer to staff (assuming the Tronc is operated properly) GOV.UK+2Acas+2
When set up correctly, a Tronc is the safer, more lawful and more transparent option.
