Splitting Commissions
In the Smart Receipt, you can enable sharing of commissions with one other employee. The steps below assume the Smart Receipt is already populated with a client, sale item, and employee credited with the sale.
- Select the sale item to reveal additional options.
- Beside the Look Up Employee field, select Split Commission.
- In the right pane, select the other employee with whom the commission will be shared.
- Define the commission split using percentages:
- Percentage: Enter the percentage of the commission that each employee will receive. The other field auto-populates with a value so that both equal 100%.
- Full Commission: Select this tile for each employee to receive 100% of their configured commission.
- When finished, select Apply. The Smart Receipt updates with the new commission percentages.
How commission splits impact payroll deductions
When you split commission on a sale item between two employees, this alters how Meevo calculates payroll deductions. Specifically:
- When a deduction is configured as a percent (employee-specific deduction override or standard amount), that percentage is applied to what the employee's commissionable amount is after the split.
- Deductions that are configured as flat amounts are treated slightly differently. For these deductions, the employee's split percentage is applied to the configured deduction (employee-specific deduction override or standard amount) to determine the actual deduction.
For example, let's assume an employee received 60% split commission on a $100 service. The employee's deductions are configured for a 2% Labor Cost and $1 Shop Cost.
- 60% split on a $100 service = $60 commissionable amount
- 2% Labor Cost on $60 commissionable amount = $1.20 Labor Cost deduction
- Since the $1 Shop Cost is a flat rate, we apply the employee's 60% commission percentage to the $1 Shop Cost = $0.60
- Total deductions for this employee are $1.20 + $0.60 = $1.80
