Tip distribution

Configuration

Define up to 10 departments. Their allocation shares must total 100%.

Define up to 5 seniority levels with multipliers or points.

Choose band sizes and multipliers so longer-serving staff can receive a higher share.

Department allocation

Each department share controls how much of the total tip pot is set aside for that department before tips are split between employees.

DepartmentAllocation share (%)

Seniority levels

Seniority multipliers adjust each employee's share on top of their hours. A multiplier of 1.00 keeps the share the same, 1.50 gives 50% more.
