Running a Tronc Scheme.

What is a tronc?

A tronc, also known as a tronc scheme or tronc system, is a special payment arrangement that lets businesses fairly distribute staff tips, gratuities and service charges given by customers. 

A tronc system managed by an independent troncmaster ensures provides an exemption from National Insurance Contributions, offers significant savings to employers and staff and ensures transparency across tipping.
