Pay employee commission

Hi tollhouseservice, 

 

Thanks for posting in the Community! If you would like to pay an employee commission, we'll need to set up first a pay category for it so that we can use it on the pay run. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to Employees tab and then select Payroll Settings.
  2. Select Pay Categories
  3. Select Add and name the category, e.g., Commission, then Save.
  4. Navigate to the Payment classification dropdown menu and select the relevant payment classification.
  5. Enter in the category setup as required, then select Save.

 

If you want to pay an employee commission without needing to aggregate the tax over a number of pay periods, simply use the Add Earnings option on the Actions button within the employee record in the pay run and select the pay category to pay it.
