If you use commissions with your employees then setting them up in ServiceMonster takes the pressure of tracking those off you. Once you have created and assigned commissions in ServiceMonster the system will track and calculate your commissions for you.
Assigning Commission From the Completion Wizard
In the Settings tab, click on "Commission Rates".
This page allows you to see all your comission rates. You can create a new commission rate by clicking on the "+ Commission Rate" button.
Here is where you can enter in the information for that commission rate.
Including the following:
Name: Here is where you can name your commission rate. This is what you will see when using the drop down menus to assign commission rates to employees.
Active: If this is a commission rate you are currently using, leave this box checked.
Base Sales Rate: Here you can choose what your commission on base sales will be. This can be a flat rate or a percentage, you can change between the two options by using the drop down menu. You can leave this blank if you don't want a base sales rate to be included on this commission.
Upsale Rate: Here you can choose what your commission on upsales will be. (You can think of upsales as being added services the tech sells to clients. Line items can be marked as upsales from the order page or from the mobile app). This can be a flat rate or a percentage, you can change between the two options by using the drop down menu. You can leave this blank if you don't want an upsales rate to be included on this commission.
