answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2015 answer text <p>All Catering and Retail Services staff, with the exception of staff grade A and above, receive a share of gratuities and function service charges, including those paid on debit and credit cards. The formula for working out the share for each permanent member of staff is based on contracted hours. Gratuities are distributed three times a year through payroll after deductions for National Insurance and income tax. A proportion of gratuities and function service charges is paid to zero hour staff (none of whom has a contractual exclusivity clause) split on a pro-rata basis according to the number of hours they have worked.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Sewel question first answered 12/03/2015 16:05:46 answering member 2124 label Biography information for Lord Sewel
