In Tip Sharing arrangements, all "Tips" going into the "pool", regardless of if they are paid in cash or as part of a credit card/debit card transaction.
Employees who are not traditionally tipped (dishwashers/cooks/etc are allowed to participate in Tip Pooling arrangements, under some circumstances.
Managers cannot participate in a Tip Pool, but are allowed to keep Tips they receive, provided they are paid for service provided by the manage alone.
