This section applies where—
a worker is allocated an amount of qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges in accordance with section 27D(1) (the "original allocation"),
the employment tribunal makes an order under section 27L(1)(b)(i) that has the effect of requiring the employer to revise that allocation,
the employer subsequently revises the amount of qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges allocated to the worker (the "revised allocation"), and
the amount of the revised allocation is less than the amount of the original allocation.
The difference between the amount of the revised allocation and the amount of the original allocation is not payable by the worker to the employer (and accordingly the employer may not bring proceedings in a court or tribunal to recover from the worker or an agent (as the case may be) the difference between such amounts based wholly or partly on the employment tribunal order).
For the meaning of "agent", see section 27H.
