The Government is urging those impacted by new tipping laws to share their views.
The legislation introduced in December 2022 under the Payment of Wages Act, aims to boost workers' rights and provide clarity on how tips, gratuities and service charges are treated.
The Act requires that a statutory review is carried out after one year, to assess the impact of the legislation.
Launching a public consultation, the Government said it wants to hear from both workers and businesses about how the new legislation is working in practice, and where any improvements can be made.
"I would encourage all those who are impacted by this legislation to partake in this consultation to ensure that their views are heard," said Neale Richmond, Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail.
"This Government believes in making work pay and allowing workers to retain their hard-earned tips is an important aspect of this," he added.
Mr Richmond said the vast majority of employers treat employees and their tips well, but added that employees can turn to the Workplace Relations Commission if they feel they have been unfairly treated.
Among the changes introduced as part of the new tipping laws, employees now have a legal entitlement to receive tips and gratuities paid in electronic form.
The new law also requires that this money should be paid to workers in a manner that is fair.
It also makes it illegal for tips, gratuities, and service charges to make up part of an employee's basic wages.
The rules also require that any charge called a "service charge" or anything that would lead a customer to believe it is a charge for service will have to be distributed to staff as if it were a tip or gratuity received by electronic means.
However, the distribution of tips can take into account various factors.
These include the seniority or experience of an employee, the value of sales generated by them or the number of hours worked.
Under the regulations, employers have to display information on how tips, gratuities and mandatory charges are shared or distributed among staff.
The main sectors to which the measures will apply are tourism, hospitality, hairdressing, taxi, and delivery services.
Others, however, may be added to the list in the future if new areas where tipping is prevalent emerge in the economy.
