Fall Back Distributions

Where do tips go if no one is clocked in on the receiving end of a Tip Sharing Rule?

Fall Back Distributions

If you set up a rule and the receiving Job Code is not clocked in during the frequency that the rule was set at, then the rule will not activate. For example:

  • During the whole day for a Daily rule

  • During the hour for an Hourly rule

  • During the half-hour for a Half Hour rule

  • During the sale for a Time of Sale rule

If a receiving Job Code is not clocked in, the tip earner retains tips.

If you always want a rule to activate regardless of whether the receiving Job Code, i.e., Host, is clocked in, you can create a Fallback Distribution.

If a rule did not activate because there was no one to send tips to, a secondary receiving Job Code(s), i.e., Busser, can step in next. You can have multiple fallback rules in place.
