Have your say! Do you pay a tip at the restaurant, bar, or hairdressers?

A new law has come into play which means that workers who receive tips as part of their job will get to keep 100% of it, and be able to take their employer to a tribunal if they don't comply. Previously, these employees were at the mercy of their workplace, and the growing popularity of tipping using card meant that you couldn't be sure that your tip was all going to the right person as a reward for good service.

Have your say! Do you tip your servers and taxi drivers, or pay a service charge for a job well done? Would you be more likely to pay a larger tip now that workers get to keep all of it? Or should we do away with it altogether? Comment below, and join in on the conversation.

"Tipping" - a customer giving a worker an extra bonus on top of their wages - used to be seen as a very American thing that has entered British culture. Brits don't tend to tip as often or pay as much as Americans, who will shell out 20% or more extra for a restaurant bill, but it's a growing practice.

If you eat out regularly, you will have noticed that tipping can take the form of a "service charge" on top of your food and drinks instead, typically adding 10-15% to your bill.

For American workers, tipping keeps the hospitality business ticking over, where you can be paid as little as a couple of dollars per hour as a regular wage. Without tipping, there would be no service - and leaving without giving a little extra, even when the service was poor, is a massive social error across the pond.

The minimum and living wage mean that our service staff are less reliant on the tipping culture that has emerged in the UK, but they are still some of the lowest paid workers in the country, and these little bonuses are a welcome boost for some high-pressure, demanding jobs. Some rely on it to top up their earnings to meet the demands of the rising cost of living.

Some Brits would argue that we don't need or want the expectation of tipping here, and that wages should rise instead if workers need more - which would mean paying more for food and drinks or cutting into a business' earnings.
