Cloud - Split Tips

You are able to split tips between multiple employees.

You'll need to give your employees access rights to perform this function.  

Click on Setup, Employees.

Click on Access Rights.

There are two access rights for this feature.

Add/Modify Tip Assignment allows employees to edit the employees assigned to the tip and the amount assigned to each employee.

Finalize Tip Assignment allows employees to mark Tips as Approved.  This feature allows an employee or manager to go through the tips for the day and verify the correct employees are assigned and mark them as Approved

Please note:  It is not required that you mark tips as Approved to use the Split Tip feature, but it enables you to filter out approved or unapproved tips in the New Tips report to simplify tip distribution.

On the receipt screen, there will now be a field for you to split the tip between employees.

Please note:  This field only shows if there is a tip.  

If you only need to assign one employee, you will still choose that employee here in the employee dropdown on the receipt.

If you want to split the tip, you will use this section below.

Click on Edit.

You are able to split the tip between as many employees as needed.

You can enter either a percentage or dollar amount and Kennel Connection will calculate the value in the other field.

You can add a note if needed. 

Hit Save when done.

Click Mark Approved if this tip has been reviewed and is finalized.



KC will let you know if you've gone under or over 100% of the tip amount and you'll need to adjust as needed.

Financial, Tip Management screen will allow you to quickly edit tips or Mark Approved as needed.

Please note:  Only receipts with a tip applied will show on this screen.

This screen will default to show the last 7 days and you are able to choose any date range.

You can filter for different parameters.

Mark Approved:

Needs Review shows the receipts that have not yet been marked approved.

Approved shows receipts that are already marked approved.

You can filter for cash or credit card tips.

You can filter for tips that are unassigned, tips that are assigned to employees, and tips that are split or assigned to multiple employees.

On the receipt and on the Tip Management screen, it will show the last time the tip was edited and by what login ID.

Click on Reports, Revenue, New Tips report to get totals for your pay period.

You can print for any date range.

There are different sort options for the report.

You can choose Detailed or Summary.

Print for all employees or click Select and choose one or more employees.

You can print for only Approved Tips.

There are different grouping options.

When one or more groupings is selected, the report will generate totals for each grouping.

The report will show much how cash and credit card tip is assigned to the employee.

In this example, we want a summary total for each employee for the date range. 

In this example, we want a detailed total for each payment type for the date range.
