We have fought about this a lot. Many salaried, full time people spend a lot of extra hours helping us. They also get appropriate salaries with benefits. Some make more money than I do.
Should we limit the fund to hourly workers? If we drop the salaried, the hourly workers, who make a lot less, will receive more. Please advise.
People have to pay to dine in common areas. With two people, three meals would be 80 bucks and 20 percent of that is 16 bucks. It’s already a bargain.
Then there’s the drivers that like the servers you can’t tip personally. This extends to the maintenance guy who rescued your depends out of your toilet with a plumbing snake. Or the houseman called to clean up your accident.
At moms place, none of the management shared in the tip fund.
If you are a resident or a loved one is a resident then it is not up to you how the contributions are allocated.
If you are an administrator there should be some direction from a corporate policy.
And if there is a policy of staff not getting "TIPs" at all or over a set amount (typical limit is $25.00) although this is difficult if not impossible to regulate.
In reality the nurses, CNA's and any aides on the floor will get TIP's. the people left out are housekeeping, facilities, front office, receptionist, all kitchen staff..all the "invisible people" that no place can function without.
