What is the name of your state? Ohio
I currently work as a limousine driver. When clients call my company to make reservations, the rate they are provided includes a 20% gratuity. That 20% gratuity is KEPT by the company and not given to me. I work on an hourly basis ($7.50 per hour). Time and time again, upon reaching the agreed to destination, my passengers will ask: "Now am I correct in assuming that your gratuity has already been collected in my bill?"
I've been instructed to say, "Yes, the gratuity has already been included in your bill."
I feel this is a deceptive practice on my company's behalf, as most of my passengers assume that the 20% gratuity will be given to me and NOT kept by my company. Is this action fair and legal?
I'll be anxious to receive your feedback on this issue. Thank you for your time and energy.
