The US Department of Labor is making new rules when it comes to restaurant pay and how tips are passed out to employees. Under President Obama only employees working with guests got tips but now under Trump he is changing it to make it possible for all employees to be able to get a share of the tips. While some say it should be up to each restaurant how they want to dole them out the Department of Labor is once again changing the rules.
