Staff pay: salary, commission and payroll
Compensation in the sidebar sets how each staff member is paid, and shows the payroll figures Tervita computes from it. It has two tabs: Current and Payout history.
Commission rules
In the Commission rules section, fill in a Rule name, what it Applies to (Service, Product or All), a Type - Percent % or Fixed € - and the rate or amount. Leave Staff (optional) on Any to apply the rule to everyone, or pick one person. Add rule saves it; each rule appears in the table below with a delete action.
Base salary
The Base salary section is fixed pay per staff member, on top of any commissions - Monthly, Weekly, Per shift or Hourly. Pick the staff member, the period, and the Amount (€), then Save salary. Each person can have one salary plan at a time; Save salary again with the same person updates it.
Computing commissions
Commissions by staff totals what your commission rules have earned each person over a date range you set with From/To. Nothing is calculated automatically - press Compute commissions to accrue new entries for completed sales in that range; the table then shows, per staff member, the number of Entries, the Total, how much is Accrued and how much has been Paid. Refresh reloads the table without recomputing.
Payroll
The Payroll table combines the two: each person's Base pay for the period - calculated from their actual scheduled hours or shifts on the roster, minus unpaid leave - plus their Commission, for a Total per person and a grand total row at the bottom. It uses the same date range as Commissions by staff.
Payout history
The Payout history tab keeps a monthly or quarterly ledger of commission accruals and payouts, toggled with the Monthly/Quarterly switch, with Paid out, Outstanding and Total figures for the whole window plus a per-period breakdown you can expand to see individual staff. Base salary isn't shown here, because salary plans aren't versioned over time - only the commission ledger carries real historical figures; use the Current tab for a full base-plus-commission run for a specific period.
Good to know
- Only staff with the right permission can add or edit rules, salaries and compute commissions; others may not see this page at all.
- A staff member with no name on file yet shows as "Unnamed" until their profile is filled in.
