What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Small Business Flexibility Act,'' aims to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The primary purpose is to change how tips can be pooled among workers. It seeks to allow certain pools of employees to share tips. This includes employees who do not customarily and regularly receive tips.
