Frequently asked questions
What are tips and mileage payments for employers?
Tips and mileage payments are approved payments employers provide outside regular wages. Payactiv helps employers manage and distribute these payments through payroll- and POS-connected workflows, replacing manual cash handling with same-day digital payouts that are easier to track and reconcile.
How does Payactiv help employers distribute tips?
Payactiv distributes tips digitally, reducing admin work and cash handling and giving staff faster, same-day access to earned tips. Employers can configure tip pooling by role, shift, percentage, or other approved rules.
Does Payactiv work with POS systems for tips?
Yes. Payactiv connects with supported point-of-sale systems so employers can capture and distribute approved tip and mileage payments using existing operational workflows.
Are mileage reimbursements taxable?
Generally no when handled correctly. Under an IRS “accountable plan,” mileage reimbursements at or below the IRS standard mileage rate are not taxable income and are not reported as wages. Reimbursements above the standard rate, or payments made without proper documentation (a non-accountable plan), are taxable and treated as wages. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional.
