This document references the Import Tips setting. For more information, please review this help article: Import tips setting | Salaris Payroll Help Center
Once you've configured your tip settings, Salaris handles tip importing as part of the payroll run. How tips are brought in depends on the tip source you've selected in Settings.
SocialSchedules or SkyTab Workforce timecards
If your tip source is set to SocialSchedules or SkyTab Workforce timecards, tips are imported automatically when you run payroll — no extra steps needed.
You can still edit tip amounts against individual employees within the run payroll component if needed. Note that any changes made in Salaris will not be reflected back in SocialSchedules or Workforce.
Tips payable (i.e. cash tips) will be displayed against the Payroll summary under the Tips column.
Manual entry
If your tip source is set to Other — I'll enter them manually, you'll see an Add Tips option on the Payroll summary. This will become active after the Import payroll button has been clicked (I.e. the payroll has been generated).
Clicking Add tips opens a spreadsheet view listing all employees within the payroll. From here you can:
Enter tips one by one OR
Copy and paste from an existing spreadsheet or document
A few things worth knowing:
If the payroll is reimported, your tip data is remembered — you won't need to re-enter it
Any changes made in the run payroll component are reflected in the spreadsheet, and vice versa
If the payroll includes employees from multiple workplaces, a separate spreadsheet will be shown for each — allowing tips to be recorded per workplace for taxation and reporting purposes.
Adding / editing tips in the View Payroll component
Regardless of your tip source, you can always add or edit tip amounts against individual employees directly within the View Payroll component.
When working with tips in the View Payroll component, you'll see two tip types:
Paycheck tips — tips that need to be paid to employees through Salaris payroll
Cash tips — tips already taken home by employees. These don't need to be paid through payroll but are reported on paystubs for tax purposes
