Earned now, paid later
Commission is earned when the work happens and settled in a pay run afterwards.
Rider salary and commission payroll software
Commission is earned per delivery and salary runs alongside it. Both settle in one pay run, dated the day the money is handed over.
Payday is a night of arithmetic
Salary, commission and advances live in three different heads. Every month somebody sits down with a calculator and rebuilds them all.
01
Commission counted twice
The rider counts his deliveries, the office counts them again, and the two totals rarely agree.
02
Advances get forgotten
Money handed over mid month is remembered by one side and quietly dropped by the other.
03
Which month was that
Pay handed out late gets attached to the wrong month, and the cost of a month stops being true.
From delivery to money in hand
Set the profile
Each staff member gets a pay profile: what the salary is and how commission is earned.
Work earns
As deliveries happen, commission is earned and recorded. Nobody has to add it up afterwards.
Run the pay
A pay run settles what is owed, less advances already taken, and the payment is dated when it was made.
How pay is counted here
Cash basis
Pay lands in the period it was actually handed over, not the period it was earned in.
Advances are tracked
Money taken against salary is recorded and comes off the next pay run.
A profile per person
Salary and commission terms sit on each staff member, not in your head.
The date stays put
Editing a pay run later does not move the date the money was actually paid.
Salary, commission and advances
Why keep earning and paying separate?+
Because they happen on different days. Commission belongs to the day the delivery happened, while the cost of paying it belongs to the day the money left your hand.
How is a salary advance deducted from staff pay?+
An advance against salary is recorded when it is given, and the next pay run settles the balance with the advance already taken into account.
If I correct a pay run, does the month change?+
No. The date the money was paid is not re-stamped by an edit, so the month it belongs to stays where it was.
