Organizations need to ensure that their income doesn’t include employee tips as this not only helps properly compensate employees but also ensures tax compliance. Unfortunately, for UKG users, entering employee tip data can be a hassle as there’s a lot of back and forth within the solution. That’s where CloudApper comes in with its Employee Tips Management Solution for UKG. Not only does it streamline employee tip management but it is also user-friendly, saves costs, and ensures better tax compliance. Let’s explore why is tip management so crucial and how CloudApper’s solution easily sends employee tip data to UKG Dimensions.

Why Tip Management is Needed

Employees receiving tips is a common scenario in many organizations, particularly in the hospitality and service sectors. Tips earned by employees can vary significantly and are influenced by various factors such as customer satisfaction, seasonality, special events, and employee behavior. Keeping records of these tips is critical for calculating payroll, ensuring tax compliance, and can even help with the employee’s performance evaluation. For organizations, keeping accurate records of employee tips is essential for tax purposes as per the IRS, as tips are taxable. Also, ensuring proper tip recordkeeping helps reduce tax fraud.

How CloudApper Simplifies Tips Management for UKG Users

CloudApper’s Employee Tips Management Solution is designed to simplify the process of recording employee tips. The solution automatically sends the tip data to UKG — reducing several repetitive processes and saving time for everyone involved.

There are two ways how the Employee Tips Management Solution works.

Firstly, employees can enter the tip amount themselves. CloudApper also provides a robust custom time capture solution for employee punches. When employees punch out for the day, they are shown a popup that prompts them to enter the amount of tips they received. Once the employee inputs the data, it is automatically sent to UKG Dimensions, eliminating the need for manual data entry and any repetitive processes involved.

Another way in which the Tips Management Solution can be utilized is through manual input of the tip data by the manager. For instance, once the employee finishes their shift for the day, they report to the manager to declare the amount of tips they’ve received. Once the manager verifies the information, they enter the data into CloudApper’s Tips Management Solution for bulk employees at once, and it is automatically sent to UKG Dimensions — making it a seamless process. Moreover, the manager can submit tip data in bulk for standard tip amounts, saving a significant amount of time.

CloudApper’s Employee Tips Management solution is also entirely customizable, helping organizations fit the solution as per their requirements. We can also set up different access levels for employees and managers, ensuring that the data is secure and confidential. The solution also provides audit logs to record any changes made for future reference.
