Trainee Tip Policy Template

Description

Tips can get tricky fast when a trainee is riding along with an experienced cleaner. Who earned it, who gets it, and what happens if the client hands it directly to the trainee? Without a clear policy, these questions can lead to confusing situations with team members and clients. This Trainee Tip Policy for employees answers all of it up front, so trainees and tenured employees know what to expect on day one. Modeled after the policy Serene Clean uses with its own team, it turns an uncomfortable gray area into a documented, straightforward rule.

Built for cleaning company owners who train new hires alongside experienced cleaners, this policy covers how tips are distributed.
