Write a polite query about how tips or service charges are shared. What I will tell you: employer [EMPLOYER_NAME], my role [ROLE], pool rules as I understand them [POOL_RULES], amounts reported versus received [AMOUNTS], period [PERIOD], what I ask [DESIRED_REMEDY]. It should ask for the policy and a statement of distribution for the period. Ask first to see the written policy: who is in the pool, how shares are calculated (hours, points or equal shares), whether the employer keeps any part, and how often it is paid. Give my own record of tips reported and received for a stated period and ask for a statement for the same period. Stay curious and non-accusing, and say I am asking so that I understand my pay correctly. Facts and papers worth gathering: Policy, tip reports, payslips. What I can realistically request: Policy and statement; corrections. The usual pushback: Employers may say the policy is fixed; reply by asking for the statement. For the tip pooling or service charge distribution query, ask me questions one at a time, beginning with the biggest gaps, and write nothing until I say go. Deliver the letter with a 50-word cover note, followed by an escalation ladder if I am ignored (ask manager, then HR, then labour agency), then a list of exhibits (policy, reports, payslips). Send the letter with a clear subject line and the PDF attached, then keep the sent message with its full headers and do not delete any reply. Stay calm, plain and courteous, with no threats beyond lawful steps, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and say where an outcome is uncertain. Draft this in the first person as a layperson, never as a lawyer. Cite no law or deadline I did not supply; use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] and nothing else, and tell me to verify the exact law with a professional. None of this is legal advice.
