WorkSafeBC Update
BCRFA has formally requested an urgent meeting with WorkSafeBC leadership regarding the implementation of the verifiable gratuities model.
We’ve made it clear this is a critical opportunity to work collaboratively on a practical, fair approach that reflects real-world operations. As it stands, the current direction raises serious concerns around added complexity, administrative burden, and potential financial impact on operators.
We remain committed to finding a balanced solution for both workers and employers, but are prepared to escalate if meaningful progress is not made.
Important: If you are contacted by WorkSafeBC regarding payroll or tipping procedures, please contact Gillian McGregor at gmcgregor@bcrfa.com or 604-505-2374 immediately.
