Employee Tip Reporting Report Guide

To access this report, log in to Business Intelligence and select Labor/Payroll > Payroll > Tip Reporting.

Purpose of the Report

The Tip Reporting Report helps monitor whether employees are accurately reporting their tips.

The report displays:

• Cash Sales and reported cash tips
• Charge Sales and reported charge tips
• Tip percentages for both payment types

This report helps identify discrepancies between charge tips and cash tips.

Understanding P.U.T (Potential Unreported Tips)

The last column of the report displays P.U.T (Potential Unreported Tips).

This metric identifies employees who may be underreporting cash tips.

How P.U.T is Calculated

• Charge Tip % – Cash Tip % = Variance Tip %
• Variance Tip % × Cash Sales = P.U.T. (Dollar Amount)

Example:

If:

• Charge Tip % = 18%
• Cash Tip % = 10%
• Variance = 8%
• Cash Sales = $1,000

Then:
8% × $1,000 = $80 Potential Unreported Tips

Why This Matters

If an employee’s cash tip percentage is significantly lower than their charge tip percentage, it may indicate underreporting.

The P.U.T column provides a calculated dollar amount to help quantify the potential discrepancy.

This report is a valuable tool for:

• Payroll accuracy
• Tax compliance
• Identifying tip-reporting inconsistencies
• Reducing financial risk

When reviewed regularly, the Tip Reporting Report supports compliance and promotes accurate employee reporting practices.
