This chapter covers payroll accounting methods for determining employee tip shortfalls using the Gross Receipts and Hours Worked methods. The Gross Receipts method involves calculating 8% of total receipts to assess tips owed, while the Hours Worked method does the same based on total hours worked. The process includes determining total shortfalls, allocating individual shortfall amounts, and recording payroll tax entries including FICA, Federal Unemployment, and State Unemployment for the specific payroll period.
