Managing and Editing Multiple Tip Pools
7shifts allows you to manage multiple tip pools across different locations, whether you use manual contributions or a supported POS integration.
Things To Know
Important: By default, Managers and Assistant Managers have access to manage or edit Tip Pool settings. Admins can adjust this by toggling the "Can create and edit tip pools" permission.
- Rule changes apply to the current open pay period and any past pay periods that are reopened after the change.
- Deactivating an employee removes them from open or reopened pay periods, which will affect your report figures.
- If an employee or Role is assigned to multiple pools, ensure their total contribution percentage does not exceed 100% to avoid inflated figures. For example, if an employee contributes 100% of their tips to three different pools, they'll end up with an inflated contribution of 300%.
- Interacting pools (such as those using Remaining Tips from other sources) must share the same cadence, such as daily or weekly, to prevent calculation discrepancies.Differing cadences can result into discrepancies as the calculation can only deduct full contributions.
- Be cautious when assigning Roles to multiple pools to avoid double-counting contributions.
