Creator's Key Takeaways

Housekeeping and dining staff get a guaranteed minimum salary plus room and board.

On crew pay slips, the automatic gratuitity gets applied first toward their guaranteed minimum.

Cash is the only thing that raises someone's pay above the minimum every single time.

If this charge funds wages, doesn't always increase pay, applies to all guests, isn't tied to service, and can be removed, is it really a gratuitity, or is it a service charge?

Creator's Tips & Advice

Give cash tips directly to crew members to ensure they receive extra pay above the minimum.
Understand that automatic gratuities primarily fund base wages rather than additional earnings for staff.
