Sec. 6-135Restrictions on compensation
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This is the rulebook for selling, serving and drinking alcohol in Ashburn. It covers who can get a beer, wine or liquor license and how the city council grants, renews, suspends or takes one away; what hours stores and bars can sell; rules for events, BYOB ('brown bagging') and catering; the city's alcohol excise taxes; and a ban on drinking or open containers on city streets and property.
No holder of any alcoholic beverage license nor any agent, servant or employee of any business in which any such alcoholic beverage license is utilized shall permit or allow any agent, servant or employee of such business who is not the owner of an interest in such business to either directly or indirectly, receive or obtain in any manner any salary or other compensation of any nature whatsoever which is based solely upon the volume of alcoholic beverages sold upon such premises either by or as a result of the efforts of such agent, servant or employee individually or of such business generally or which is based solely upon the profit derived by such business from the sale of any alcoholic beverages.
