Common Roles: Bartender, Barback
Avg Wage: $16.5/hr

The Reality of Tip Credits

Bartenders usually receive a base hourly wage far below the standard minimum wage, relying heavily on tips to make up the difference. A compliant paystub must clearly show the base wage, the tip credit taken by the employer, and all reported tips.

Cash Tip Reporting

While cash is king in the service industry, failing to report cash tips means your documented income isn't high enough to qualify for a car loan or apartment. Generating paystubs that include all your cash tips creates a verifiable record.

Bartenders & Nightlife Payroll FAQs

Why is my bartender paycheck $0?

Because tips are taxable income, taxes on your tips are deducted from your hourly base pay. If you make a lot of tips, your hourly wage may be completely consumed by taxes, resulting in a $0 paycheck.

How do I add tip-outs to barbacks?

If you are a manager generating stubs, you can add "Tip-out" as a deduction from the bartender's stub, and as an earning line on the barback's stub.
