A common example of grouping tips by Day-Part would be having both an AM and a PM pool or tip-out. The following options are available.
For the following example, the division between AM and PM service is 4:00pm. (this division can be set as desired, and, any number of Day-Parts can be setup)
Truncate on Day-Part
With "Truncate" mode, if a shift spans both day parts, then the employee participates in both day-parts.
Intelligent Day-Parts
With "Intelligent" mode, All hours and tips are placed into the day-part where the majority of the shift was worked. Note that with this option, a double shift requires two separate shifts.
Notes
- The preceding example can apply to both the source of tips and the allocating or pooling of tips. The two can function independent of each other.
- Source tips are based on ticket open time.
- Thresholds of time worked may be applied to pools. For example, "employee must work in a day-part for 15 minutes to participate in the pool"
Additional Controls
- Use of AM Roles and PM Roles adds additional options / control
- Use of AM and PM ring-in codes, i.e. "AM Bar" and "PM Bar" offers additional options / control
