Tips in 401(K) Calculation

Hi,

Beginning late last month QB Online began including tips in the 401(K) calculations for employees and the company match.  After way too many hours on hold over several weeks I was told that it was recently changed so that tips are included and that it cannot be turned off.  Anybody have experience with this and is this true?

    Thank you for the information,

     

    I guess I am just confused as the tips were never included before and then all of sudden they are with no communication about the change.  It is a significant amount of money to the company and to the net of my employees.  Tips are not wages from the company, so why would the company match an amount on tips?  The other issue I am having and perhaps you can help with this is I am having to manually figure out the actual gross wages now as that is what my retirement company is using for all the calculations.
