Payroll and commission plans
Commission math straight from the real book: pick a pay period and read each provider's service revenue, commission, tip share, and total pay off one table. No spreadsheet, no Sunday-night reconstruction.
Who can do this: Owner, Admin, or Manager.
Read a pay period
- In the left sidebar, click Staff.
- Pick the period at the top: This week, Last week, or This month.
- The Payroll table shows one row per provider: Provider, Plan, Service revenue, Commission, Tip share, and Total pay, with totals at the bottom.
- A provider with a "No plan" tag earns no commission in the math until you assign one below.
Assign a commission plan
- Scroll to the Commission plans card. Each plan is listed with its tiers, like "45% from $0, 50% from $5,000."
- Plans run in one of two modes: brackets (each tier's rate applies to the revenue inside that tier) or flat at highest tier (one rate, the highest tier reached, on everything).
- Next to the provider, pick the plan in the dropdown and click Update. The payroll table recalculates on the spot.
Example. Priya books $6,200 of services in a month on a bracket plan of 45% from $0 and 50% from $5,000: she earns 45% on the first $5,000 and 50% on the $1,200 above it. Her row shows the revenue, the commission, her tip share, and the total.

Common questions
- Where do commission plans get created? Assignment lives here; creating and editing plan tiers is part of your account setup today.
- Where do tips come from? Checkout. Tips are recorded separately from service revenue at payment time, which is what makes the Tip share column honest.
- A provider's revenue looks low? The table reads completed, paid work from the book for the selected period. Check the period toggle first, then their appointments.
- Who can see this page? Managers and up. Providers don't browse each other's pay.
Good to know
- Because payroll reads the same records as checkout, fixing the book (a missed payment, a wrong service) fixes payroll automatically.
- Pooled tips split by the plan's tip-share rules, so "who was working" arguments settle themselves.
