Tips

Tips may be given to compensate an individual for work above and beyond their regular rate in industries where tipping is customary.

Required Documentation:

• Receipt OR Log signed by tipper including the name of the recipient, amount, date and purpose

• W9 if over $300 is provided directly to the individual (rather than added to a receipt for a charge to their employer)

Payment Process:

Tips may be added to a receipt paid for via credit card. The final receipt showing the full charge amount including the tip should be submitted when reconciling the credit card payment or when requesting reimbursement.

If tips are paid in cash, the tipper must provide a signed document listing the name of the tip recipient, the amount paid, date and purpose, in order to be eligible for reimbursement or to document the use of petty cash.
