Exporting Tip Earnings to Workforce
Only tip earnings from approved tip distributions can be exported to Workforce.
Approving a tip distribution will add 'Tips' earnings to the DSS. These earnings are then automatically included when payroll information is sent to Workforce from the labor dashboard. Learn more about sending earnings from Smart Ops to Workforce here.
Important Note: Because earning information cannot be sent to Workforce more than once for a single pay run, it is important to review and approve tip distributions prior to sending payroll information from Smart Ops.
Exporting Pending Tip Distributions
For payroll purposes, it is recommended to only use tip distribution exports for approved tip distributions.
For review purposes, tip distribution exports for pending distributions can also be downloaded. On both the 'Pending' tab of the Tip Automation page and on the Tip Distribution Details page, clicking the 'Export' icon 
for the desired pending tip distribution will download the associated Tip Distribution Export.
