Maryland Notice to Tipped Employees

PURSUANT TO 	§3	-713 ( C ) OF THE LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT ARTICLE OF THE 	 	
MARYLAND ANNOTATED CODE, EMPLOYERS ARE REQUIRED TO CONSPICUOUSLY 
POST THIS NOTICE IN A PLACE WHERE ANY TIPPED EMPLOYEE IS EMPLOYED.	 	
 
Under Maryland law, a tipped employee is an employee who customarily and regularly 
received more than $30 each month in tips or gratuities.	 	
 
Maryland law prohibits an employer from requiring a tipped employee to reimburse an 
employer or pay an employer for the amount of  a customer’s charge for food or beverage 
if  the customer leaves the employer’s place of  business without paying for the charges. In 
addition, unless otherwise provided by law, and employer is prohibited from making a 	 	
deduction to an employee’s wages to cover the cost of  a customer’s charge for food or 	 	
beverage if  the customer leaves the employer’s place of  business without paying the 
charge for food or beverages.	 	
 
If  you think you have been required to make an improper payment or there has been an 
improper deduction from your wages related to a customer’s charges if  the customer 
leaves the place of  business without paying the charges, you may contact the 	 	
Commissioner of  Labor and Industry at:
