Small Business Flexibility Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to clarify tip pooling rules for businesses. It creates two specific tip pools: one for staff who regularly receive tips (like servers), and another for staff paid a regular wage who don't typically get tips (like kitchen workers). The change directly affects restaurants and similar businesses using tip pools by defining exactly which employees can share tips. The policy provides clear guidelines to prevent disputes over tip distribution without changing minimum wage requirements.
