When clocking out, what percent of tips should be claimed?

Claiming 100% of tips when clocking out is essential because it reflects the total income earned by a server during their shift. This includes both cash tips and tips received via credit cards. Accurately reporting the full amount helps maintain transparency and ensures compliance with tax regulations. Failing to claim all tips can lead to discrepancies in reported income and potential issues with tax reporting.

Additionally, it is important for servers to be aware of how tip reporting affects their wages and tax responsibilities. Claiming the complete amount ensures that servers receive appropriate credit for their earnings and helps with the consistent monitoring of overall service performance. This practice also fosters a sense of fairness and accountability in the workplace.
