The Take Home Enabled (Job Code settings Toggle) feature was built to help prevent a non-tipped job code of your choosing from receiving take-home tips. When this toggle is disabled for a job code of your choosing, and that job code retains take-home tips greater than $0.00, you will receive an alert on your Breakdown Page.

This message will display when viewing a day or date range that contains a discrepancy and will remain there until that issue has been resolved. This feature is ideal for general managers, managers, ghost employees, and other job codes of your choosing, which should never have take-home tips.

To access Take Home Enabled from your client dashboard, go to Settings > Locations > Job Codes.

As demonstrated in the above example, the take-home for the "General Manager" job code has been deactivated. Consequently, Tiphaus is showing an alert, as the remaining take-home for this position is greater than $0.00.

By clicking on the alert, you can view the employee name, job name, and date for the take-home tips discrepancy. As you can see in this example from the Breakdown Page (2 images above), the sale belongs to a General Manager job code.

A tip-sharing rule or tip pool did not distribute these tips. This could be because the Manager job code is possibly not part of your Tip Distribution Logic, or the sale may have been closed at a time that didn't fall into one of the established rules.

With this information in mind, you can now take the necessary steps to make sure those tips are distributed so that your payroll runs perfectly.

💡Tip: If the tips should have been distributed through a rule or tip pool already in place, verify that someone was clocked in when the sale was made, following your rules/pools distribution frequency.
