Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I apply more than one commission plan to a single employee?
Yes, this can be done under their employee setup like normal.

What's the difference between Higher and Tiered commission plans?
Tiered plans only allow an employee to make commission off the value over each level. Higher plans enable an employee to make commission off the entire amount of products they sold so long as they hit the required sales amount for each level (or sales per hour).
Example:
Tiered | Higher |
If this product sales plan is configured as Tiered and a receptionist were to sell $37.55, she would only make 12% commission off the .5 cents because that was what she sold over the first level requirement of $37.50. | If this same plan is configured as a Higher plan and the same receptionist sold the same $37.55 worth of product, she would make 12% commission off the entire $37.55 because she passed the required $37.50 to get the commission. |

What's the difference between basing a commission plan off of Gross sales or Net sales?
Gross sales is based off of total sales before any discounting, and Net is based off of total sales after discounts.

Can I configure my payroll system to pay my employees based off of which ever is higher between their hourly wage and their commission-able sales?
Using the Employee Payroll Method setting located via Setup > Payroll/Bonuses on the General setup page, you can choose to either use the sum of both, or use the higher of.
Use sum of Commission and Hourly Wage | Use higher of Commission and Hourly Wage |
When you want your commission plan and hourly wages to stack together, paying your employees both their commission and their hourly wage. | When you want whichever is higher between an employee's commission and their hourly wage to designate their pay. |
