Workers at Ivy Collection claim move offsets gains made from UK minimum wage rise
Workers at a chain of restaurants spun out of London celebrity haunt the Ivy say they are losing out after the company cut their share of the service charge paid by diners when the legal minimum wage rose in April.
The Ivy Collection, which operates nearly 40 restaurants in the UK and Ireland, pays all waiters, chefs, some managers and support staff in its outlets the legal minimum wage of £10.42 for over-23s plus an hourly “commission” rate graded to their position and location.
