Salary schemes are used to calculate compensation for individual employees or entire locations. What percentage of the service fee will the employee receive? Should net profit be considered? Should a fixed daily rate be paid? What percentage of product sales should be allocated to the employee? All of these details are set in the salary scheme.
How to create a salary scheme
Please follow the Staff – Commissions – Scheme menu to create a new scheme. Click the + New Schema button:
1. Put the scheme's name
2. Select locations
You can apply this scheme to all employees in the selected locations if needed.
3. Set the payment type
4. Configure commission deductions
This can include:
- A percentage of the service fee (left field),
- A fixed amount earned by the employee for completing the service (right field),
- A combination of both rates (both fields, as shown in the example):
5. Final service fee
The income from services may vary, especially when discounts or prices change upon booking closure.
The Use service final cost option helps calculate the commission based on the actual amount received.
The percentage can also be based on the profit, after deducting the service cost and/or the consumable costs:
6. Custom scheme for services
For some services, different percentage and/or fixed rates can be applied:
7. Commission from all services at a location
Additionally, you can set a percentage commission based on successfully closed bookings for all employees at the selected locations, not just for individual services:
8. Hourly rate
Payment is calculated based on the time spent performing services. Even if the workday is longer, only the total duration of closed bookings for that day will be counted.
9. Daily shift commission
This specifies the amount the employee will receive for any day in which they complete at least one service. If no services are performed that day, no rate will be paid, even if the day is marked as a working day on the schedule.
An additional condition for receiving the daily rate: Minimum daily profit, which must be met for the daily rate to be applied.
10. Product sales commission
This option is used to pay a percentage of product sales to the employee.

You can create multiple salary schemes and switch between them as needed, either permanently or temporarily for specific dates.
