step 2b: read the additional update and prior followups from Adam | for even more details and insights from Adam about Tippy and our implementation

step 3: setup the Tippy and Branch apps on your phone | follow the steps on this guide to setup your personal profile and banking information.

the Tippy app is where you see and manage your profile that will be integrated with meevo. we can send you your online reservations meevo photo so you can also use it as the tippy photo clients see on the checkout kiosk. use the company codes below for each location you work in. if you work in both locations, be sure to setup both locations in tippy.

the Branch app is the banking part of the system that connects your tippy profile to a secure account that comes with a debit card (both physical and apple-google pay compatible) plus the ability to easily transfer gratuities into your regular personal bank account. uber uses branch to pay its drivers, so it is safe and reliable.

if you experience any issues setting up your tippy or branch accounts, tippy support can be reached directly at 855-831-2323 option 1 or via chat on the Tippy website

step 4: fill out and submit revised tax withholding and reporting forms | as detailed in the FAQ, you will need to complete new W-4 forms if you would like to claim a deduction on your gratuities to reduce withholdings on each paycheck.

take the time to review how you are currently reporting gratuities as this new option may have a number of benefits for you.

federal W-4: if you qualify for the new 2025 reduction in taxes on tips (consult your personal tax professional), revising your W-4 will allow that reduction to be applied to each paycheck instead of waiting for a refund when you file your taxes.

state W-4: even if you qualify for the new 2025 federal reduction in taxes on tips, no changes to your state taxes will occur. for most team members this means no changes to your W-4. just to be sure that we have all the right forms and withholding in place for you, we still request that you update your state W-4 (IT-2104 in NY).
