Every aspect of tip law compliance is built into your distribution logic.

Tip Credit Calculations

Automatic calculation of federal minimum wage + tip credit per state law. Updates automatically when laws change.

Tip Pooling Rules

State-specific rules on who can and cannot participate in tip pools. Managers cannot override compliance rules.

Overtime on Tips

Correct treatment of tips in overtime calculations — whether tips count toward OT or not per state law.

Service Charge Separation

Automatic classification of service charges vs discretionary tips. Different rules per state and transaction type.

Record-Keeping Requirements

Full audit trail covering every state's documentation and retention requirements for tip distributions.

Law Change Updates

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Errors & Omissions Insurance?
E&O insurance is professional liability coverage that protects your business from financial loss due to mistakes made by a service provider. In this case, if Gratuity Solutions makes a calculation error in tip distribution, our E&O insurance covers the resulting liability, protecting your operation from wage claims or legal exposure.
How does automatic compliance work?
Every state has different rules about tip credits, pooling, overtime, and service charges. Instead of managers manually tracking these rules, GratShare stores the rules for all 45+ states and automatically applies them to every distribution. When state laws change, Gratuity Solutions updates the rules — your system stays compliant without any action needed.
Which state tip laws are covered?
All 50 states plus DC are covered, including variations for major cities (e.g., California state vs San Francisco local rules). Coverage includes federal minimum wage + tip credit rules, state-specific pooling restrictions, overtime treatment of tips, service charge rules, and record-keeping requirements.
How quickly are law changes updated?
Gratuity Solutions monitors tip law changes and deploys updates to all customer systems automatically. Most changes are deployed within 48-72 hours of becoming law. You'll receive notification of any changes that affect your operations.
What happens if there's a compliance violation?
The Intelligent Alarms system flags any distribution that would violate state law before it processes. The distribution is held for manager review with a detailed explanation of the violation. Managers can either correct the underlying issue or contact Gratuity Solutions support for guidance.
