Overview
You have the option of setting up your teams’ wages to be percentage-based (i.e. the team makes 50% of the booking’s pre-tax Price). Follow these instructions to set your account to use percentage-based wages:
Step 1: Create a Percentage-based Wage Method
The Wage Method for your account lets you specify which wage method to use for all of your teams at any given time. To use percentage-based wages, you have to create an Percentage wage method. After you do so, the system will know to calculate your teams’ wages as a percentage of the booking’s pre-tax Price:
- Go to Settings > Wages Method
- Click Add New
- Choose an Effective Date (i.e. the date you want the percentage-based wages to take effect)
- Choose Percentage as the Method
- For percentage-based wages, you have the option to exclude discounts from the wages calculation. Doing so will ensure that the team’s wage is based on the full-price of the booking and will not be based on the after-discount amount. If you prefer this, choose Yes for Calculate based on Service price only.
- Click Save
Step 2: Add a Default Percentage-based Wage for your Team (optional)
Each time you assign a team to a booking, you have to set their percentage share.
If you set up a default percentage, you will save time from having to enter this info each time you assign the team.
- Go to Settings > People > Teams
- Choose the Team you want to add a default percentage wage for
- Click on the wage link under the Compensation section
- Click Add New
- Choose an Effective Date (i.e. the date you want the percentage wages to take effect
- Choose Percentage as the Wages Method
- Enter the percentage to Pay the team per booking
- Click Save
Now when you assign a Team to a booking, you’ll see the default percentage-based wage automatically set for you. You can always change this value if you need to just for that booking:
