Tip redistribution info

Tip Redistribution can be triggered on server checkout or server clockout via the check box 'Get ReDist Tips At Checkout' in MC-Setup-Hardware Devices-Terminalxx. Unchecked is the default which prompts at clock out.

When performing at Clock Out, the server must have declared tips and have the Redist Tips at FOH check box checked for the pay category they are working in. The FOH Redistribute Tips screen will be displayed, showing all employees that have worked today or are currently clocked into a pay category that has the Redist Tip Target check box checked. Touching the arrow to the left of the employee’s name will then allow the amount of the tip to be entered to redistribute to that employee. The total tips redistributed must be less than the total tips the employee is declaring. If  'Redist Tip Single Emp Per Pay Catg' is checked(MC-Setup-System Preferences-FOH tab) then only one employee per pay category can be distributed to. See the BOH Manual for info on the other settings in the 'Tip Handling' box.

When performing at Check Out, the server must have the 'Redist Tips at FOH' checkbox checked for the pay category they are working in. The 'FOH Redistribute Tips' screen is displayed when a check out is performed. If 'Complex Tip Rates' are used on the server checkout report the amounts for redistributing will be automatically set. If 'Redist Tip Single Emp Per Pay Catg' is checked(MC-Setup-System Preferences-FOH tab) then the server can select a single employee per pay category to send the calculated amount to by touching the server name. Once an amount is assigned to the employee, it can be changed by touching the employee name again. It cannot be set to a lower amount unless  'Redist Tip Allow Lower Amount' is checked. If 'Redist Tip Single Emp Per Pay Catg' is not checked then touching more than one employee per pay category will cause the pre-calculated amount to be split between the selected employees. If paying redistributed tips on payroll, you should be sure 'Redis Tip Allow Cancel' is NOT checked and 'Redist Tip Print Report' is checked and require the server submit their Redist Tip Report with their Server Checkout Report to ensure the other employees receive their tips (otherwise the server could cancel the redistribution and the other employees would not be paid their tip shares).

Special note when performing at check out... reopening the checkout will NOT clear the tip redistributions that have been recorded. As such, when re-performing the close out the server will prompted to re-perform the redistribution which they should press cancel to.
