Case Study: An imperfect system:

The average large destination resort/casino employs approximately 4,000 hospitality staff.

• Less than half of employees maintain daily records of tips and report them.

• Many Employers use the IRS Gaming Industry Tip Compliance Program (GITCA), which withholds (FICA/Medicare) but it is not accurate.

• By employers implementing a digital tipping/reporting solution the reporting is exact and costs are saved.
