Compensation for Classes/Events

For businesses that offer classes and events, you have the ability to set up staff compensation payable based on classes and/or attendance. The compensation structure can be set up as straight commission, tiered commission by revenue, tiered commission by attendees, or tiered commission by sessions

In this article, we will review how to set up compensation for classes and how each is calculated.   

Things to know

  1. The commission is calculated only for checked-in or paid attendees for a class session.
  2. The rate can be either a percentage of the class revenue or a fixed dollar amount.
  3. Straight Commission - Pay staff a straight percentage or flat commission per checked-in or paid attendee in a session.
  4. Tiered Commission by Revenue - Commission is calculated on the total revenue earned from all checked-in or paid attendees in a session. It can be based on the entire class revenue generated in the period or just the amount above the tier. You can set the base rate that the commission is paid for the first tier and then add as many tiers as you like.
    • All Revenue Earned - Applies only one tier, the one which matches the overall revenue. Commission will be calculated as total revenue x tier %.
    • Amount Above Earned - Applies an incremental commission for each revenue threshold achieved. Commission will be calculated as revenue - tier threshold x tier % 
  5. Tiered Commission by Attendees - Commission is calculated based on the number of checked-in or paid attendees in a class session per pay cycle. You can set the base rate that the commission is paid on for the first tier and then add as many tiers as you like.
  6. Tiered Commission by Sessions - Commission is calculated based on the number of class sessions conducted per pay cycle. You can set the base rate that the commission is paid on for the first tier and then add as many tiers as you like.
  7. If the attendee has a membership where the class is free, the commission can be based on the regular class price or on the internal price set on the membership configuration interface.
