This rule made us laugh. Something about seeing "SOCKS: Must be worn at all times," in the employee handbook just feels hilarious and bizarre. The coffee and donut chain cites their "health and sanitation policies" as the reason for this decree, which we could see a case being made for. One quick Google search of "is wearing socks more sanitary than not?" turns up pages worth of articles about how socks absorb moisture, should probably be changed every day, and how not wearing them could indeed be bad for your health. Didn't know socks were such a hot topic in the health arena? You're not alone.
Dunkin Donuts Employee Policies
Under the law, most workers in Massachusetts have the right to earn and use up to 40 hours of sick time per year. Employers are required under the law to post a "notice of employee rights" in their workplace and include sick time policies in any employee handbook or manual.
In a case with far-reaching implications, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) unanimously ruled on April 10, 2015, that employers may institute no-tipping policies in the Commonwealth without violating the Massachusetts Tips Act, G.L. c. 149, 152A. Further, the Court held that if the no-tipping policy is clearly communicated to customers, any change that is nonetheless left behind by customers cannot be considered a tip and therefore an employer is free to do what it wants with the change, including instructing employees to put the change towards future customer purchases or retaining the change. Meshna v. Scrivanos, No. SJC-11618 (April 10, 2015).
As the amicus writers pointed out, tipping issues are not limited to employers in the restaurant industry, and many employers adopt no-tipping policies for legitimate business reasons. No-tipping policies can prevent preferential treatment to those customers who can afford to leave significant tips. They also can ease the pressure and burden on other customers who are unsure of whether or how much they are obligated to tip. Further, many employers who do not permit tipping pay their employees a much higher hourly wage, providing a more stable source of income and benefits, and no-tipping policies can improve teamwork and decrease internal competition among those employees.
