Tiproll / Salons & barbers
Tips on the card machine belong to the team. Show them it adds up.
When clients add a tip on your card reader it lands in the salon's account, so the tipping law applies to the stylists and staff who are your employees or workers. Tiproll gives small salons and barbershops the policy, the records and a fair split without the spreadsheet.

The problem
Why it's tricky for you
- Card tips land in the business account, often mixed in with the takings.
- Juniors, assistants and receptionists help the client too. Do they share?
- Self-employed chair renters aren't covered by the tipping law, but employed and worker stylists, juniors and receptionists are. Check each person's status.
- Most tipping software is built for big restaurant groups and priced to match.

What the law asks
Six rules, already handled.
Pass on every penny
All qualifying tips, gratuities and service charges go to workers, with no deductions except the tax and National Insurance the law requires. That includes card tips, service charges and cash tips you collect or tell staff how to share, however rarely tips come in.
Share them fairly
Allocate using clear, objective factors and have regard to the statutory Code of Practice. Agency workers must be included on a fair basis. Tips are shared between the people working at the venue where they were paid: you can't pool tips across branches.
Pay on time
Tips must reach workers by the end of the month after the month the customer paid them: tips left on 23 June must be paid by 31 July.
Have a written policy
If tips are paid more than occasionally, you need a written tipping policy that says whether you ask customers to tip and how tips are shared. It must be available to every worker at the venue, including agency staff and anyone who doesn't share in tips.
Keep records for three years
Record all qualifying tips and how they were allocated to each worker, and keep the record for three years.
Answer record requests within four weeks
A worker can make a written request (once every three months) for the record covering whole months they worked in the last three years. You must reply within four weeks, counting the day the request arrives.
