This area allows you to process Commission payments. To process a Commission Payment

1.       Click on the Administration Menu/Function button.

2.       Click on the Payments > Commission Payments Option button.

3.       Click on New.

4.       The Commission Payment Active Window will be displayed.

5.       Select the Paid On Date using the Drop Down Calendar – This is the date that the payment will

be processed.

6.       Enter Commission Paid To Date, for example, if Paid On Date is on the 7th of the month

and you want to pay commissions up to 30th of the previous month and there are settled contracts and other activities that have occurred since the 30th; when the Commission Paid to Date is entered, the system will automatically calculate the Commission Balance amount that was applicable to the sales staff as at that the 30th.

 

Note: The system does not record/mark off that commission has been paid up to a certain date. This means that if you pay commissions on the 1st of the month with a commission paid to date of 30th of the previous month, and then goes in and decides to make another payment on the 7th of the month and puts in the 30th of the previous month as the commission paid to date, the balance to be paid will be the same.

 

The system will default all staff that have a ‘Credit’ commission balance into the grid. You may add additional staff as required, even if the staff member has a zero or negative balance. The Amount to pay will default to an amount that will bring the employee’s commission balance to zero. You may change/update this amount as required.

 

7.       If 1/12 annual leave on commission switch is set for that staff, the system will

automatically calculate the annual leave component.

9.       Tax – the system will rely on the Periodic Payment setting on Commission to determine if

Tax should be calculated for this staff

10.     Company super – similarly, the system relies on the Periodic Payment setting on

Commission to determine if company super is applicable
