Any tips paid to employees are retained, in full, by them. The company does not manage tip payments on a local or national basis or impose any charges on employees.
Do you support work experience programmes?
We support entirely voluntary work-experience programmes, in particular those for young people, ex-military personnel and those with a disability. These are programmes where candidates will not lose any benefits, if they do not participate in the programme. Candidates are paid to complete this experience.
We do not support work programmes where attendance is mandatory for benefits to be retained.
