Banquet and service workers, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO GRATUITIES IF YOU WORKED BANQUET EVENTS. It is common practice throughout the banquet industry for venues and caterers to charge customers mandatory service charges, administrative fees, or similar surcharges, typically in a set percentage that mimics what consumers typically leave as a gratuity. Many states have laws that protect against misleading reasonable customers to believe these charges constitute gratuities intended for banquet staff – when the venue or caterer ultimately retains the charge.
