Set up service charges

Service charge is the compulsory charge for service. An example would be charging 15 percent of the bill for a large dining group. The service charge is not a tip. If an employee receives tips in addition to the compulsory service charge, the service charge will be part of the calculation for minimum wage verification for tipped employees. For more information, visit the United States Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division (WHD) website.
