Sandals Reportedly Agrees to Allow Workers in Antigua to Keep Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that Sandals Resorts<\/strong><\/a> has agreed to allow its employees to keep their tips<\/strong>, following discussions with Executive Chairman Adam Stewart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government is also moving to legislate protections for hotel workers<\/strong> to prevent employers from withholding gratuities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stewart gave a presentation at the CARICOM heads of Government meeting just concluded in Barbados.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on Pointe FM<\/strong>, Browne commented Stewart\u2019s commitment to ending the controversial policy<\/strong>. Adam Steward reportedly said \u2018If the government of Antigua & Barbuda<\/a> wants the staff to get tips, they can have the tips.\u2019 So I said to him, \u2018Definitely.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne made it clear that the government expects Sandals to proactively update its tipping policy<\/strong> before legislation is enacted. \u201cWe hope Sandals will be proactive and put the new tip policy in place so that when workers receive tips, those tips belong to the employees, not the employer or any trust or fund,\u201d<\/strong> he stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Browne warned that any policy penalizing hotel staff for accepting tips will be outlawed<\/strong>. “This idea that you can fire an employee for accepting a tip, we\u2019re going to outlaw that. We will go to Parliament if necessary,\u201d<\/strong> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister also emphasized that hotel wages in Antigua & Barbuda must reflect the country\u2019s higher cost of living<\/strong> and should not be aligned with lower-wage markets such as Jamaica, Mexico, or the Dominican Republic<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The government\u2019s upcoming labor reforms<\/strong> will aim to ensure fair wages and better working conditions for tourism workers<\/strong>, reinforcing Antigua & Barbuda\u2019s commitment to protecting employees in the hospitality sector.<\/p>
