Enabling this option will change the handling of charged tips within the audit as it will not deduct that amount from Net Cash Due on the audit. Instead, this amount will now display on the Time Clock reports and Daily Sales Summary screen.
How to Configure:
There are two parts to configuring Tips Withheld: Employee Maintenance and Register Options.
Employee Maintenance
- Make sure all appropriate employees have “Hourly” and “Tipped” enabled in the Job Code/Pay Rates section at the bottom of the Employee Maintenance screen
Register Options
- In the “Full Service” tab enable the option “Withhold Charge Tips for Payroll”
NOTE: Sites that withhold charged tips for payroll MUST enter the charge tip totals each day on the Daily Close Out screen within one of the “Deposit” fields. This makes it so the site balances correctly (neither over nor short) on their reports.
New Fields that Appear within MicroSale:
- In the “Daily Sales Summary” area of the Reports Menu you will find an additional field appears in the last row called “Tips Withheld” which will show you the overall withheld tips total.
- In the “Time Records Preview” report within the Time Clock Reports area you will see that the “T-Tips” and “Tip Sales” will be populated with that specific employee’s charged tips from their shift.
- In the “Daily Labor Report” report within the Time Clock Reports area you will see that the “Total Tips” and “Tip Sales” will be populated with that specific employee’s charged tips from their shift.
Databases that are affected by enabling this option:
- Time Records.mdb
- Hime History.mdb
- Server History.mdb
- Approvals.mdb
- Audits.mdb
