Your crew completes the job.
We make sure they get the tip.
Automated tip management for
cleaning
CrewSplit turns paid invoices into accurate, payroll-ready earnings — automatically synced from Jobber into Gusto. Every split, every cycle, without you touching anything.
- No spreadsheets
- No manual tip calculations
- No payroll guesswork
Jobber and Gusto talk to each other.
Tips aren't part of the conversation.
The native Jobber–Gusto integration syncs timesheets. Full stop. When a customer tips $40 on an invoice, nothing moves. That $40 sits in a report you have to find, cross-reference, calculate, and manually enter into Gusto — every cycle, indefinitely.
CrewSplit lives between Jobber and Gusto.
Knows which technician was on that job — down to the visit.
Most tip tools see a tip and a list of employees. CrewSplit sees a job, every visit under it, the crew assigned to each visit, and the hours logged. A recurring window-washing client visited 4 times by 3 different crew configurations gets the right allocation on every pay cycle — automatically.
You decide eligibility. We enforce it — automatically, every run.
CrewSplit never auto-derives tip eligibility from job titles or system flags. You toggle it per team member during onboarding. Account owners and admins are always excluded by the system. Your declared rules filter every calculation before a single number moves.
Every cent logged, timestamped, and exportable.
Every tip allocation CrewSplit writes to payroll is stored with the full context: invoice ID, visit IDs, technician IDs, split model used, Gusto version hash at write time, and a UTC timestamp. If a labor auditor or your bookkeeper ever asks, the answer is one click away.

The whole team wins when tips clear automatically.
Get your Friday nights back.
You started a service business to run jobs, not payroll reports. Right now, every other Friday means 2 hours of invoice cross-referencing and manual Gusto entries. CrewSplit eliminates that workflow entirely. Activate it once. It runs every cycle without you.
Built on the tools your business already runs.
CrewSplit launches with the Jobber → Gusto pair — the 3,000+ businesses who already have both connected and are living with the tip gap every payroll cycle.
Every team running Jobber and Gusto is already solving this problem somehow.
Here's an honest look at every approach — what it costs, what breaks, and what it can't do.
