פּוֹעֵל שֶׁאֵינוֹ מַאֲמִין לְבַעַל הַבַּיִת, נוֹטֵל גְּרוֹגֶרֶת אַחַת וְאוֹמֵר, זוֹ וְתֵשַׁע הַבָּאוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ, עֲשׂוּיוֹת מַעֲשֵׂר עַל תִּשְׁעִים שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹכֵל, זוֹ עֲשׂוּיָה תְרוּמַת מַעֲשֵׂר עֲלֵיהֶן, וּמַעֲשֵׂר שֵׁנִי בָּאַחֲרוֹנָה, וּמְחֻלָּל עַל הַמָּעוֹת, וְחוֹשֵׂךְ גְּרוֹגֶרֶת אֶחָת. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, לֹא יַחְשׂךְ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מְמַעֵט מְלַאכְתּוֹ שֶׁל בַּעַל הַבָּיִת. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר לֹא יַחְשׂךְ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא תְנַאי בֵּית דִּין:

A worker who does not trust the <i>Ba'al HaBayit</i> [property owner] should take one dried fig and say, "This and the nine that follow it are [part of the] tithe for the ninety I eat. This [first] one is designated as <i>Terumat Ma'aser</i> upon them and <i>Ma'aser Sheni</i> is at the end and becomes unconsecrated by [transferring its consecration to] coins." He then withholds one dried fig. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says, he does not withhold because he then reduces the work of the employer. Rabbi Yossi says he doesn't withhold due to an enactment of the court.

Tosefta Demai

A worker that was working at the place of a homeowner and [the worker] does not trust [the homeowner] as to tithes, Rabbi Yosei says, [this is the subject of] a ruling of the bet din, that he should take the priestly portion of the first tithe from [the portion of the produce] belonging to the homeowner, and the priestly portion of the second tithe from [the portion of the produce] belonging to the worker.
