Set someone's pay: hourly rate and commission
Give each person an hourly rate and, if they earn commission, daily tiers. Each month they get the higher of the two; the app works it out but never pays anyone.
Owners can change what each role may do.
Pay lives on the What they earn tab of each person's record. Commission is worked out day by day, and the month is settled against their hourly pay.
Before you start
- By default the owner, administrators, managers and Human Resources set pay. Nobody but the owner can change their own.
- Hours come from check-ins, so staff need to clock in and out: Check in and out.
Steps
- Step 1
Open MANAGE › Users and tap Edit on the person's row.
- Step 2
Open the What they earn tab.
- Step 3
Type their Hourly rate.
- Step 4
Tap Add tier and fill in From and To: the range of the day's sales this tier covers.
- Leave To at 0 on the top tier so it has no cap.
- Step 5
Pick the Type, % of day's total or Fixed bonus, and type the Value.
- Step 6
Type a day's total under Preview to see what that day would earn.
- Step 7
Tap Save changes.
What happens next
- Read your salary page and Team salary use the new rate and tiers straight away, for past months too. A payroll run already saved keeps its figures.
- The next payroll run uses them (Team salary and payroll runs).
- Nothing is paid: you pay people yourself and log it as an expense (Record an expense (including wages you paid)).
How pay is worked out
Each day stands alone. The person's sales that day, less refunds, pick one tier, and that tier applies to the whole day, not just the part above it.
Example: tiers from 0 to 400 at 25% and from 400 with no cap at 27%. A day ending at 800 earns 27% of 800. The next day starts again from zero.
At month end the daily commission is added up and compared with the hourly rate × hours worked. They are paid whichever is higher, never both; with no tiers, they are paid by the hour.
Bonuses and deductions are added on top of that: Team salary and payroll runs.
What earns commission
Commission is counted on sales without VAT. When two sellers share a sale with Add seller, each earns on their own share.
Selling a gift card earns commission on the day it is sold. What a gift card later pays for earns nothing, so the same money is never paid twice.
A layaway earns on each payment, on the day it is taken. A refund takes the commission back on the day of the refund.
Questions
Is commission worked out with or without VAT?
Can I give a one-off bonus?
Does reaching a target pay extra?

What to do
Only the owner can change their own pay. Ask someone else who manages staff, such as the owner, to change yours.
Good to know
- Tiers are daily, so a big day can't make up for a slow one: set the brackets around a normal day's sales.
