Jobcodes
Select Maintenance > Labor > Jobcodes to access this function.
Job codes are user-defined job descriptions that categorize employees and tasks into logical groupings. Job codes provide a description for the role an employee performs for the job assigned to that job code. They control whether an employee can enter orders, the parameters under which they can take breaks, whether they can operate a cash drawer, and more. Use this function to define the tasks for each job code, as you do when writing a job description. For example, kitchen employees typically do not have order entry privileges so you would clear ‘Order entry’ under the ‘Order entry’ group bar on the Order Entry tab. Once you define the necessary job codes, access Maintenance > Labor > Employees and assign at least one job code to each employee.
Jobcode tab
The Jobcode tab enables you to configure basic information about the job. Use the Jobcode tab to define the requirements for the job code, such as a training mode, if a password expires, to log in to the FOH, if the employee uses a cash drawer, and more.
Group Bar: Identification
Name — Identifies the job code, such as Cashier, Bartender, Server, and Manager. Type a maximum of 10 characters.

This is useful when you assign more than one job code to an employee. Related Requirements: You must import an image, whether standard or custom, using the Media Files function, before you can select it from the image list.
Job Group — Designates the job group under which an employee clocked in under this job code is to function. Job groups bundle job codes into a single grouping to make it easier to control the menus that appear based on the job code under which an employee is operating. Related Requirements: You define job groups in Maintenance > Labor > Job Groups.
Job Group for tip share — Designates the job group under which an employee clocked in under this job code receives tip-share distribution amounts. Related Requirements: You define job groups in Maintenance > Labor > Job Groups.

Training sales print only to the local chit printer. They do not open the drawer, nor do they display on a video screen or a pole display. The words ‘Training Mode’ print at the top of all guest checks and chits. Additionally, guest checks appear in green instead of blue on order entry terminals. Required Options: You must select ‘Shift required to clock in/out’ under the ‘Time and Attendance’ group bar on this tab to enable this option.

Store collects employee tips — Enables the store to collect credit card tips and gratuities for employees clocked in under this job code. This option enables the store to collect all credit card tips from sales without affecting the cash owed amount on the checkout report. For Table Service operations, use this for environments where a cashier accepts payments from guests instead of the server and the cashier is liable for the tips when reconciling the drawer. For Quick Service operations accepting online orders, tips coming from online sales are collected by the store. In both environments, the system declares the full amount of the credit card tips received for each employee and managers determine the best method for distributing the amounts. Required Options: You must select ‘Shift required to clock in/out’ under the ‘Time and Attendance’ group bar on the Jobcode tab to expose this option. Documented Version: v19.9.
Indirectly tipped (TS only) — Indicates an employee clocked in under this job code receives tips from a tipped employee instead of the customer. For example, bussers, hostesses, and dishwashers receive indirect tips. This option is only used to pass information in the ADP export file.
Must declare tips at clock out — Requires an employee clocked in under this job code to declare tips upon clocking out. The FOH Enter Tips screen appears when the employee touches the Clock Out button. Required Options: You must select ‘Shift required to clock in/out’ under the ‘Time and Attendance’ group bar on the Jobcode tab to enable this option.
Threshold type — Specifies the threshold to use when an employee clocked in under this job code declares their tips. Required Options: You must select ‘Must declare tips at clockout’ to enable this option.
-
Amount — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the fixed amount entered in the ‘Low tip threshold amount’ text box, per job code. Use this method for non-order entry employees who receive and must declare tips, such as bussers and dishwashers. For example, if the fixed tip threshold is $2.00, then the employee must declare at least $2.00. Required Options: To define the tip threshold for this declaration method, type an amount in the ‘Low tip threshold amount’ text box, located on this tab.
-
Hourly amount — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the greater of the following calculations: employee’s charged tips OR job code tip threshold x employee’s work time. For example: The employee works three hours, receives $10.00 in charged tips, and has a tip threshold value of 5. The employee must declare at least $15.00 because the job code tip threshold x employee’s work time equals $15.00, which is greater than the employee’s charged tips of $10.00. Required Options: To define the tip threshold for this declaration method, type a value in the ‘Low tip threshold amount’ text box, located on this tab.
-
Hourly amount plus charged tips — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the following calculation: (job code tip threshold value x employee’s work time) + (employee’s charged tips - employee’s tip distribution). For example, if the employee works 3.45 hours, receives $13.00 in charged tips, has a tip % threshold value of 5, and pays $3.00 in tip share, then the employee must declare at least $27.25. Required Options: 1) To define the tip threshold for this declaration method, type a value in ‘Low tip threshold amount.’ 2) If you access Maintenance > Business > Store > Store Settings tab > Labor group and clear ‘Allow tipped declaration less than charged tips’ under the ‘Employee settings’ group bar and the employee calculated tip declaration is less than the charged tips, the employee must declare at least the amount of their charged tips.
-
Charged tips minus percentage — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the following calculation: (employee’s charged tips - tip share distribution) - (job code tip threshold x employee’s tippable sales). If the calculated tip threshold amount is less than zero, the system rounds up and uses the value of zero. For example, if the employee enters $215.00 in tippable sales, receives $13.00 in charged tips, has a tip % threshold value of 1, and pays $3.00 in tip share, then the employee must declare at least $7.85. Required Options: 1) To define the tip threshold for this declaration method, type a percentage in ‘Low tip threshold percentage.’ 2) If you access Maintenance > Business > Store > Store Settings tab > Labor group and clear ‘Allow tipped declaration less than charged tips’ under the ‘Employee settings group bar and the employee calculated tip-declaration method is lower than the charged tips, the employee must declare at least the amount of their charged tips.
-
Global percentage — Specifies the tip threshold, by store, based on the following calculation: store tip % threshold x employee tippable sales. For example, if an employee had $100 in tippable sales and the store tip % threshold is 10%, the employee must declare at least $10.00. Selecting ‘Global Percentage’ disables ‘Low tip threshold amount’ and ‘Low tip threshold percentage.’ Required Options: To define the tip threshold for this tip-declaration method, access Maintenance > Business > Store > Store Settings tab > Labor group and type an amount in ‘Default tip-share percent’ under the ‘Tip share’ group bar.
-
Percentage — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the following calculation: job code tip % threshold x employee’s tippable sales. For example, if the employee’s tippable sales is $100.00 and the tip % threshold is 10%, then the employee must declare at least $10.00. Required Options: To define the tip threshold for this declaration method, type a percentage in the ‘Low tip threshold percentage’ text box, located on this tab.
-
Percentage of cash sales — Specifies the tip threshold, by job code, based on the following calculation: (job code tip % threshold x employee cash sales - employee tip-share % of cash sales) + (employee charged tips - tip refunds - employee tip-share % of charged sales). For example, if the employee had $150.00 in tippable sales, but $100.00 of the amount was tendered to cash, and the tip % threshold is 10%, the employee must declare at least $10.00. The Aloha POS system adds any charged tips for the total tip declaration. Required Options: You define the tip threshold for this tip-declaration method in ‘Low tip threshold’ under the ‘Tips’ group bar.
Note: When you select ‘Percentage of cash sales,’ the Aloha POS system separates the transactions tendered to cash from the transactions tendered to non-cash, and the employee must declare against their cash tippable sales only. The Aloha POS system later adds the charged tips to the tip declaration.
Low tip threshold amount — Specifies the tip threshold value, between 0.00 to 9999.99, based on the tip-declaration method you select in ‘Threshold type.’ Required Options: You must select a ‘Threshold type’ of ‘Amount,’ ‘Hourly amount,’ or ‘Hourly amount minus percentage’ to enable this option. When you select ‘Amount,’ ‘Hourly amount,’ or ‘Hourly amount minus percentage,’ the Aloha POS system treats the value for this option as an amount.
Low tip threshold percentage — Specifies the tip threshold value, between 0.00 to 9999.99, based on the tip declaration method you select in ‘Threshold type. Required Options: You must select ‘Percentage,’ or ‘Charged tips minus percentage’ to enable this option. When you select Percentage,’ or ‘Charged tips minus percentage,’ the Aloha POS system treats the value for this option as a percentage.
Maximum tip threshold percentage — Specifies the maximum percentage of cash tips an employee clocked in under this job code can declare. Use this option to safeguard against an employee accidentally declaring an unusually large amount. Type 0.00 to specify no maximum amount. Required Options: You must select a ‘Threshold type’ of ‘Percentage of cash sales’ to enable this option.
Do not subtract cash tip share from minimum required (TS only) — Stipulates to not separate cash tips from charged tips when calculating the minimum required tip-share declaration. This option does that automatically. Required Options: You must select a ‘Threshold type’ of ‘Percentage of cash sales’ to enable this option.

Auto-declare tips if clock out doesn’t occur — Automatically declares the charged tips received by an employee clocked in under this job code, when an employee forgets to clock out and a manager or the End-of-Day process must perform the clock out for them. This ensures that at least the charged-tips amount is declared based on the following calculation: charged tips - tip refund - default tip-share amount contributed. Required Options: You must select ‘Must declare tips at clockout’ to enable this option. Related Options: When you access Maintenance > Business > Store > Store Settings tab > System group and select ‘24-hour operation’ under the ‘Day/Time’ group bar and you access the Labor group and select ‘Auto-Clock Out at End of Day’ under the Employee Settings group bar, the Aloha POS system continues to automatically declare the charged tips the employee received. When you select ‘24-hour operation’ and you clear ‘Auto-Clock Out at End of Day,’ the Aloha POS system does not automatically declare tips because it automatically clocks the employee back in after running the End-of-Day process.
