Gratuities matter: A recent study found that higher-than-expected tips had a positive effect on workers’ feelings of social dignity and their interactions with customers
threatening the hospitality sector, tips for service workers are particularly crucial for their bottom line.Service-based workers, from barbers to landscapers, often rely upon holiday or year-end tips and are presumably on your list. Think about who else might make your list based on ways your life has changed over the past two years, such as a new sitter or your block’s FedEx driver, said Thomas Farley, a New York-based etiquette specialist and founder of consulting firm What Manners Most.
For example, if you see multiple hairstylists and some of them just a couple of times a year, you might tip them a little extra throughout the year rather than send individual year-end tips, said Ms. Smith. She also suggested a hack: If you keep track of how much you pay for someone for a specific service all year, you can add up the cost of those services and tip them 10% to 15% of the amount.
For regular nannies, you can give them up to one week’s pay, Ms. Swann said. For a babysitter, up to one evening’s pay is acceptable.Financial planners and etiquette professionals stress that people should examine their broader finances before giving holiday tips. To do this, create a budget plan for holiday spending—including travel and gifts—and lump that sum into your calculations, said Brittney Castro, certified financial planner at Mint.
“If you tip them $20 for no reason other than you just forgot how much you tipped last year, they are going to take that as you were somehow dissatisfied with their service,” he said.
