The basis question is - what does it say in her contract about tips?

...there is certainly no reason for them to pay for her transport. That's the employee's responsibility.

Tips earned on business premises are the property of the employer to disburse as they wish. Employer has given staff a job so they make the rules.

I taxied my kids all over in their teens, regardless of time, as their safety is utmost important to me. No car - then pay for taxi if youre worried at her travels. Employers cant be held responsible for travel costs.

If the boss needs to use top money to help pay for renovations it would seem to me they could be on the verge of going bust.
