1yworkaround is here ..... See here where it says: "the employees and not the employer decide how the tips are pooled or shared among employees" https://www.canada.ca/.../cpp-ei.../tips-gratuities.html Direct tips Direct tips are paid directly by the customer to the employee. The employer has no control over the tip amount or its distribution. The employer is merely a conduit for the tip from the customer to the employee. The following are some examples of direct tips: a customer leaves money on the table at the end of the meal and the server keeps the whole amount a guest gives a tip directly to a bellhop, door person, car attendant, porter, etc. the employees and not the employer decide how the tips are pooled or shared among employees a customer includes an amount for a tip when paying the bill by credit or debit card and the employer returns the tip amount in cash to the employee at the end of the shift. In exceptional situations the cash tips could be paid out the day after, for example, if there was not enough available cash on hand Direct tips are not subject to CPP contributions or EI premiums.
