As this gratuity is mandated by the employer, does it change the handling of the money from a 'direct' tip to a 'controlled' tip ultimately being taxable and added to a worker's T4 slip?

I've never agreed that service industry workers are taxed largely on their hourly wages and can choose to declare their tips as earnings for tax purposes. Particularly in instances when the majority of total income is from gratuities.
