Prerequisites

Straight commission values need to be entered in the desired PLU in the Sales Item(s) before they can be added to the position. PLU commissions can be assigned in the Sales Item as an amount or percentage.

📓NOTE: If nothing is in the commission box in the PLU, then you will not be able to add it to
the position.

Overview of Setting up a Straight Commission

Provide incentive for one or many of your positions to perform to their best ability.
The following must be completed in order for Straight Commissions to be paid:

1. Sales Item: Setting the Straight Commission Value
2. Club Service: Setting the Straight Commission Value
3. Setup a Position to pay Straight Commission
4. Assigning a Position to a User
5. Sell and Redeem Commissions
6. Commission Related Reports  

TIP: Commission is tracked based on the POS entry at the time of sale. For example, whoever is logged on as Greeter at the time of purchase will receive the greeter commission credit for the sale.

$$$: Sales Commission is designed to provide incentive for the individual positions that are assigned to the User or employee. You cannot award commission to an individual or group based on sales made by
multiple greeters.

   accredited $1 in commission reports.
6. From the Commission Greeter panel, select Amount, or a Percentage of the sales price that

The employee will only receive commission from a completed sales transaction while logged in as a User in WashConnect that has been setup to receive straight commissions.

📓NOTE:  If the Greeter is not clocked in at the time of Sale but is the assigned Greeter in the Open Shift, then the Sales Item will show on the report but the Position will be blank and will not add Money to the commissions total.

Commission Related Reports:

  This report can show which employee was set as the cashier at the time of sale.

  Entries to confirm employee was clocked in for sales, and to check if they were assigned to the
  correct commission position.

  Clock In. i.e., if adding a PLU to the Position in the middle of the Shift, the Greeter would not get
  credit for that PLU if already clocked in. The Greeter will get credit the next time they clock in. A
  greeters time clock entry can be manually changed in Edit Time Clock.
