Employees Found to Have a Private Right of Action under Minnesota Tip Pooling Law

The Minnesota Supreme Court’s ruling was issued this week in Burt v. Rackner, Inc. d/b/a/ Bunny’s Bar
& Grill. The plaintiff, Todd Burt, alleged that he was told by his
restaurant employer that “to give more of his tips to the bussers, and that
there would be consequences if that did not happen.” After refusing to follow
the directive, Burt was terminated. Burt sued, claiming that his termination
violated the tip-sharing provision of the Minnesota wage and hour
law. More specifically, Minnesota law prohibits an employer from requiring
an employee “to contribute or share a gratuity received by the employee” or to
“contribute any or all of the gratuity to a fund or pool.”
