What is a Tip?

A tip is an additional payment made to an employee, particularly in workplaces such as hotels and restaurants, as an expression of satisfaction with the service provided, beyond the service charge.

Whether you're on the employer's or the employee's side, one term you'll frequently encounter in the working life is "payroll". Its commonality stems from its frequent practical appearance and the legal importance attributed to it. Payroll is often confused with wage slips and they are usually used together. In our study, we will examine the legal basis of payroll and wage slips, the mandatory elements they must contain, their similarities and differences, as well as their place in labor litigation.

As known, in Article 47 of the Labor Law No. 4857, it is regulated that employees working in workplaces covered by the Law, if they do not work on days recognized as national holidays and general holiday days by laws, will be paid the full wages of that day without any work in return; if they work without taking a holiday, they will be paid an additional day's wage for each day worked. Accordingly, employees will receive full payment for the days they choose not to work and instead take holidays on national and general holiday days.
