Tip Automation Distributions Report

The Tip Automation Distributions Report gives payroll administrators a complete view of tip pool activity across a selected date range. Use this report to understand how tip allocations were calculated, see who contributed to each pool and how the pool was distributed to receivers, and validate totals for audits, troubleshooting, and employee pay questions.

The report is organized into two sections — Daily Rules and Weekly Rules — each containing a Contributors table and a Receivers table. These tables reflect the actual tip automation data model: contributor math is calculated first at the contributor level, and the pooled total then determines receiver allocations.

The Tip Automation Distributions Report is read-only. Tip automation rules and allocations cannot be edited from within this report. To learn more about configuring tip automation rules, see Tip Automation Rules.

Report columns

Contributors and receivers are independent datasets. The Contributors table shows what each employee contributed to the tip pool. The Receivers table shows what each employee received from the pool. There is no direct row-to-row mapping between a specific contributor and a specific receiver — this is how tip automation calculates allocations.

Columns that do not apply to a given rule display —. This value is treated as 0 in all calculations.
