We finally hired an accountant last year since the DH has so much travel and freelance stuff. It was great, except THIS year they informed us that they made a mistake last year and we owed an extra $4,000 for 2011. They are paying the charges and fees, but we have to come up with the money, which we don't have and are putting on a credit card. Not great news when I am unemployed and all. I think THEY should pay it all, since it was their mistake, but apparently since we underpaid and had the money all last year, they don't have to. Sucks.

what business is going to ignore an unpaid balance because you gave an employee a tip??
Right? It's not like slipping free drinks at a bar (not that I know about that personally, if that's cracked down on, too --I think my brother's do that).
But feeling obligated, or being order to give up your tips just seems wrong. Yeah, they're not waiters who live off of tips, but the tipper obviously thought they were doing something worth more than just the basic fare. And we're a non-profit, so it's not like our salaries or paychecks are awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would imagine there's an official policy, if you guys host parties like that regularly?
Go, Lee! Growing food seems like magic.

I can't imagine anyone is tipping with that in mind.
But they are also not doing it with the organization's general budget in mind. If employees are required to hand them over, and the tippers are not being told that fact, I'd consider that extremely shady, if not outright fraudulent.

I've already seen both eps and I would vote for watching GoT first, but either order is excellent.
Great! And now I have a plan.

Either you have a clear "No Tipping" policy, or employees get to keep tips.

I can say with certainty that where I work, official policies are avoided so the PTB can make shit up as it suits them. eta Thanks, Scrappy. It's not in our Employee Handbook.
Hm, maybe I'll ask the ED tomorrow. On one hand, he's the guy who realizes that while we can't get compensated monetarily what we're worth, so we deserve comp time if we exceed 40 hours. On the other, he squeezes every free thing he can from our vendors and has no shame about double-dipping.

That's ridiculous! If that were the policy, I would totally rat the company out and tell the customer if they tipped me.

If you get paid by the hour, that would be illegal in New York -- overtime has to be paid.

Yeah, the part-timers aren't allowed to work beyond their allotted time, which sucks because I *know* one of them does work at home or lies on her time sheet when she stays late (she is far far too nice, she's the one who was having guilt over the tip. I hope her hubby is well-off and that she's just working because she's bored).
