Trump’s $1.3million federal spending bill signed Friday has made it illegal for restaurant employers to skim tips. The 2,232-page bill included a section that bans employers from taking a cut of their employees' tip money, allowing workers to keep the extra cash for themselves. The Labor Department received a flood of 218,000 negative comments on the tip skimming proposal, according to CNN Money . This week's federal spending bill not only allows employees to keep their tip money, it also allows the money to be split evenly among all restaurant workers including kitchen workers, dish washers, cooks and bussers. However, the Economic Policy Institute reports that employers do skim their employees’ tips, even when it’s forbidden.
