Welcome to TipSharePro. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the TipSharePro application and services ("Service") provided by TipSharePro ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
TipSharePro is a tip share accounting and calculation tool only. It is NOT a substitute for legal, tax, or labor law advice.
The accounting methods, transparency, and reports used by TipSharePro will reflect the setup criteria and ongoing data your company will input.
Users should seek counsel and clear understanding of appropriate labor law concerning tip pooling and tip sharing arrangements before implementing any tip distribution system.
TipSharePro is encouraged by the acceptance of Federal Standards (U.S. Department of Labor Fact Sheet #15: Tipped Employees Under the Fair Labor Standards Act) regarding tip pooling and tip sharing by State Labor offices in non-tip-credit states. However, there are still some ill-defined rules concerning the "Lead" or "Supervisor" roles partaking in a pool. Some ambiguity remains in other areas as well.
TipSharePro advises: Be safe, not sorry. If you have someone in a role you think might be problematic to include in the pool, or any other questions, consult your labor attorney or the nearest state labor office.
TipSharePro provides a web-based application for calculating and tracking tip sharing contributions and distributions among eligible restaurant staff in a mandatory tip sharing arrangement. The Service is designed to help restaurant owners and managers fairly distribute tips to eligible "Chain of Service" employees. The criteria used is based on management's fair and reasonable estimation of one's contribution to the service a customer has bargained for, as defined by law.
The Service is currently available only in states where taking a tip credit against minimum wage is not allowed, including California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Alaska.
The information provided by TipSharePro, including but not limited to calculations, reports, and educational content regarding the "No Tax On Tips" policy and IRS compliance, is for informational purposes only. Nothing in this Service constitutes tax advice, legal advice, or professional consultation.
You should consult with qualified tax professionals, labor attorneys, and/or your state labor office before making decisions regarding tip pooling arrangements, tax reporting, or compliance matters.
