Enabling Employee Access to Tip Reports in 7shifts

Updated

Increased transparency around work hours, wages, and tips benefits both employees and employers. This article guides Admins in enabling Employee Tip Report access in 7shifts to give employees access to their estimated tip earnings on the 7shifts mobile app.

⚠️ Important: Timesheet and tip report access requires syncing labor data into 7shifts via 7punches or a POS Labor integration. Tip data must also be available through 7shifts Tip Pooling or synced directly from your POS system.

How to Enable Employee Tip Report Access: 

  1. Log in to the 7shifts web app as an Admin.
  2. Go to Time Clocking > Settings.
  3. First, enable the setting called "Employee timesheet and earnings access." (Tip reports are tied to timesheet access).
  4. Then, enable "Employee tip report access."
  5. Click Save at the bottom on the page. 

Once enabled, employees can view their tip reports (and timesheets) on the 7shifts mobile app.

⚠️ Note: The Employee Tip Report is only available on the 7shifts mobile app.

What Employees See on their Tip Report:

The data displayed on the Employee Tip Report may vary depending on your 7shifts account configuration (e.g., Tip Pooling, POS tip data). Employees typically see a summary of their estimated earnings for the pay period, including:

  • Hours Worked: The total hours worked during the pay period.
  • Hourly Wages Earned: The total wages earned based on their hourly rate(s).
  • Tips Earned: The estimated total tips earned during the pay period.

Employees can also open their Shift Earnings Report for a detailed breakdown by shift, including a summary of earned tips for each shift.

⚠️ Important: The Tip Report displays estimated earnings. Employees are informed that these numbers are subject to change due to several factors, including the sync frequency of data from your integrated POS system and the setup of your 7shifts Tip Pool.

Pro Tip! When encountering inaccuracies in your reported tip information, the issue is often related to the configuration of your Tip Calculation settings. To address this, review and modify your Tips to Payroll settings to ensure your formula is calculated according to your preferences.

Employee Mobile Dashboard:

Enabling Timesheet & Tip Access also activates a summary view on the Employee's Mobile Dashboard, showing Shifts Worked, Hours Worked, Estimated Wages, and Estimated Tips for the current pay period.
