劳工部发布小费雇员职责指引公告 撤回三封旧意见函与小费池备忘录
华盛顿——美国劳工部工资与工时司10月19日发布2026年第1号实地协助公告（FAB No. 2026-1），就小费雇员从事「相关职责」（related duties）的合规口径作出说明，同时撤回此前三封相关意见函，并终止一份关于小费池（tip pool）安排的谅解备忘录。工资与工时司表示，发布该公告旨在统一一线执法人员的执行标准，为餐饮等雇佣大量小费雇员的行业提供明确指引。实地协助公告是工资与工时司向其调查人员发布的执法指引文件，不直接创设新的法律义务，但会影响该司对雇主合规情况的判断。
Labor Department Issues Field Assistance Bulletin on Tipped Employees, Withdrawing Three Opinion Letters
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division on October 19 issued Field Assistance Bulletin No. 2026-1, addressing the related duties of tipped employees. With the bulletin, the division withdrew three prior opinion letters on the subject and terminated a memorandum of understanding concerning tip pools. The division said the bulletin is intended to provide consistent guidance to its field staff and clear direction for industries, such as restaurants, that employ large numbers of tipped workers. Field assistance bulletins are enforcement guidance documents issued to the division's investigators; they do not themselves create new legal obligations but shape how the agency assesses employer compliance.
