⚠️ Admins can automatically access the Tip Pool reports. However, Managers and Assistant Managers will require both the 'Can run reports' and 'Can run tip pool reports' Manager Permissions.

To Run the Tip Pooling Report

The Tip Pool report can be accessed from the Tip Pooling dashboard or directly in the Reports section of 7shifts.

1. If you are already viewing the Tip Pool dashboard, click on View Report beside the specific Tip Pool you wish to review .

Or, head to Reports > Tip Pooling:

3. Next, select your date range, Location, Tip Pool name, and desired layout within the option dropdowns.

4. Then, click on Get Report.

⚠️ For cases where no employees had clocked in under a Role that would have received tips, the remaining contributed tips will be distributed amongst the other receiving Roles in that Tip Pool.

⚠️ If your timesheets have not been closed for the selected time period, you may be prompted to first verify your Employee's punches and close the pay period. This will help ensure that the tip distribution is calculated correctly.

5. Once you have generated the report, you'll get a CSV file similar to this:
