Tips & Gratuity
This article explains when Qwick Professionals (Pros) should expect tips, how to determine whether a shift includes gratuity, and when tip payments are typically received.
Are Tips Included on Every Qwick Shift?
No. Most Qwick shifts are flat-rate, meaning the hourly rate shown in the app is the full amount you should expect to earn for that shift.
Unless the shift details specifically state that tips or gratuity are included, you should not expect to receive additional tip compensation.
How Do I Know if My Shift Includes Tips?
A shift only includes tips if the shift details explicitly state that they are provided.
Common examples include:
Plus tips
Plus gratuity
Credit card tips included
Example:
Shift posted at $20/hour
Shift details do not mention tips
Expected pay: $20/hour
If the shift details mention "plus tips" or similar wording, you should expect to receive both the posted hourly rate and any eligible tips.
What If the Shift Doesn't Mention Tips?
If the shift description does not mention tips or gratuity, the posted hourly rate is your full expected compensation.
Support cannot guarantee or request additional tip payments for shifts that were not advertised as including tips.
Who Decides Whether Tips Are Offered?
The business determines whether a shift includes tips.
Some businesses choose to offer gratuity, while others pay a higher hourly rate instead. If tips are offered, they will be clearly stated in the shift details before you confirm the shift.
When Are Tips Paid?
If your shift included tips, they are typically processed within 10–14 business days after the shift is completed.
Because each business submits tip information on its own schedule, payment timing may vary slightly.
I Haven't Received My Tips
If your shift included tips and you have not received them after 14 business days, please contact Qwick Support. We'll review the shift details and work with the business if needed.
If your shift did not state that tips or gratuity were included, the posted hourly rate is the full compensation for that shift.
