Tip pools, tip-outs, and tip credit without spreadsheet roulette.
Configure your tip rules once. Clockout calculates pools, tip-outs, and tip credit per shift, per role, per state — and ships it clean to payroll.
Built for the way your shift runs, not how a SaaS deck imagines it.
Pool, point, or hours-based
Pick the model that fits your concept. Multi-tier tip-outs are supported out of the box.
State-by-state tip credit
Tip credit limits, full minimum wage states, and tip-protection rules — all enforced automatically.
Daily reports staff can see
Servers see exactly how their pool was calculated. Trust goes up, complaints go down.
Audit-ready trail
Every tip distribution is logged with the rule version and timestamp. DOL questions get answered in seconds.
