How does tip pooling by hours work?
The total pool is divided by total hours worked to get a per-hour rate, then each person earns that rate times their hours. It rewards longer shifts fairly.
Is tip pooling legal?
Tip pooling is legal under federal law with rules: managers and supervisors generally cannot share in the pool, and tipped employees must still receive at least minimum wage. State rules vary.
Can I weight by role instead of hours?
Many restaurants use points or percentages by role. This tool splits by hours; for point-based splits, enter weighted hours.
