What you'll walk away with:
How Hawaii tip credit works and where employers get tripped up
Tip credit rules in Hawaii are more nuanced than most employers realize. We'll walk through the basics, where the line is drawn, and the unintentional missteps that lead to costly back wages and penalties.
What you need to know about tip pooling and service charges
Not all tips are treated equally, and under the recently finalized OBBBA rules, the distinction matters more than ever. We'll break down who can participate in a tip pool, how to structure one correctly, and why service charges don't qualify as tips under the new federal deduction.
How to stay compliant without getting buried in the details
From tip reporting requirements to a new federal deduction under the OBBBA, we'll cover what's changing, what it means for your payroll, and how ProService supports restaurants, hotels, and hospitality businesses.
