Service Settings That Relate To Payroll

Admin fees and flat rate pay

When configuring services in your payroll module, two key settings affect payroll calculations:

1. Admin Fees

  • By default, payroll is calculated on a commission-based split.

  • Some companies apply an admin fee before splitting the payment.

  • Example:

    • A job costs $100, and the inspector’s split is 50%.

    • Without an admin fee, the inspector receives $50, and the company retains $50.

    • With a $10 admin fee, the remaining $90 is split, giving the inspector $45 and the company $45.

  • The admin fee is set per service and helps recover costs before profit distribution.

2. Flat Rate

  • Instead of a commission split, some services may be paid at a fixed rate.

  • Example:

    • A radon test can be assigned a flat rate (e.g., $30 or $50).

    • The inspector will receive this fixed amount regardless of the service’s total price.

  • Flat rates apply whether the service is assigned to a primary inspector or as part of an event.

These are the only two payroll-related settings under services. Other payroll configurations are managed within the Inspectors and Payroll Settings sections.
