Commission Setups
Note: Therapists that are Representatives do NOT have a separate commission plan
Each Supplier is linked to a commission plan. The commission plan enables
Commission by product or service category
Commission by product brand
Commission by individual SKU
The commission plan is setup with a sequence which is used to determine the % to apply. The commission plan works down from lowest sequence to find the % applied and stops once one is found.
Note:
Cancellation fees can be put in a separate service category if different commission plans treat them separately
Sessions that are cancelled or missed need to be ticked “Therapist paid for missed session” to be included
Room renters - this is ticked by default
Contractors and Employees that are NOT Room Renters
Therapist paid for missed session is:
NOT ticked by default
AND when ticked requires notes in Therapy notes (of what they were doing)
Example product sale
VITC Product in “Vitamins” category and Brand “ClearAndNatural”
Commission plan
Seq 10 = VITC (Product) = 25%
Seq 20 = ClearAndNatural (brand) = 12%
Seq 30 = Vitamins (category) = 5%
The result would be 25% - the first commission found that the product falls into
Example Cancelled Session - Deposit Retained
Session Service “Therapy1” in product Category “HandsOn” with brand “Premium1”
Cancellation Fee Service “Cancellation fee” in product category “CancelFees” and no brand
Commission Plan
Seq 10 = Premium1 (Brand) = 85%
Seq 20 = HandsOn (Product Category) = 50%
Seq 30 = CancelFees (Product Category) = 45%
The result would be 85% of the deposit retained + 45% of the cancellation fee
