Why do I see negative tips in some of my breakdown columns?

On the Breakdown, you may see negative tips in your Tip Pool Net and Tip Share-Net columns, this is nothing to be alarmed about. These columns show the tips sent and received via your Tip Pools and Tip Sharing Rules for tip-earning and tip-receiving job codes.

You can hover over the blue circles for more information about each column. It is very common to see negative numbers here for tip earners, such as servers, bartenders, and baristas.

Everything highlighted in blue in Tiphaus is clickable. By clicking on the numbers under the Tip Share Net and Tip Poo Net columns you can see a breakdown of what Tip Sharing rules or Tip Pools were involved in calculating an individual employee’s take-home.

In this breakdown, you’ll see a list of the Tip Sharing Rules or Pools that applied to the employee (A) and each one of the checks that triggered the Rule or Pool (B).
