Labor & Social Security Law deparment report | Analysis of the Decree No. 731/2024

On August 13, 2024, Decree No. 731/2024 was published in the Official Gazette, which amended Article 113 of the Labor Contract Law, establishing that tips or rewards received by the worker in connection with their work will not be considered part of their remuneration.

Furthermore, businesses and/or establishments in the gastronomy, hospitality, fuel station, delivery, and other related sectors where tipping is customary, must provide an option for workers to receive tips through electronic means.

Finally, it is stipulated that tips or rewards may be credited directly to the employee who receives them or deposited into a special account of the establishment created for this purpose. If the business and/or establishment acts as an intermediary in the payment of tips, they must make them available to the employees within 24 hours of receipt, without any deductions or withholdings of any kind.

We remain at your disposal for any questions or inquiries on this matter.
