7.4 Tip Payments – Instructors, Assistants

Instructors may receive some of their compensation in the form of tips from customers. If the tip is included with payment from the customer (either by check or credit card), enter the tip on your time card in the 'Tips' section. You will receive payment for this tip once we receive payment from the customer. If you receive a cash tip, do not include this on your time card; however, all tips are considered taxable income and it is your responsibility to report these tips when filing your annual tax return.
