The managers at my job collected on this tip-out which I believe was total BS and I would love to see any employers get busted for this.

As for declaring tips come tax time, one could declare only tips received via debit/credit card as they are the only proof of gratuities. The government could never find out if someone gave me $20 cash.
you'd be surprised what the CRA can prove. A couple years ago they went and audited the casinos in the city and were able to prove the amount of cash tips people were receiving.
