Frequently asked questions
Does everyone get an equal share of the pooled tips? No, tips are split proportionally to hours worked, so someone who worked more hours in the shift receives a larger share of the pool than someone who worked fewer.
What if two people worked the same number of hours? They receive identical payouts, since the pool is divided into an hourly rate and multiplied by each person's own hours worked.
