Set up and manage declared tips in 7punches
If you use 7punches for time clocking, you can enable the Declared Tips setting to let employees record their tips when punching out. This keeps tip tracking and reporting accurate and ensures your payroll calculations reflect what employees actually earned.
Important: Only Admins can manage 7punches settings. This feature may require a plan upgrade.
Enable declared tips
Enabling declared tips applies the setting across your entire account. Once active, employees will be prompted to enter their tips at the end of each shift through 7punches.
- Log into the web app as an Admin.
- In the left navigation bar, go to Time Clocking > Settings.
- Check the Declare tips setting.
- Click Save to apply the change.
Once enabled, employees can record their tips at the end of each shift. Here's an example of what the tip entry screen looks like:
Admins, Managers, and Assistant Managers with the right permissions can view all declared tips under Reports > Worked Hours & Wages Report.
Note: Declared tips don't automatically sync to manual tip pools.
