Tips paid by customers do not constitute "wages" under the Employment Ordinance because they do not emanate from the employer; however, the contract between the parties included an express or implied right to a share of gratuities, so tips are recoverable at common law as damages for wrongful dismissal; the Employment Ordinance does not wholly oust common law remedies and the contract was determinable by one month's notice.
