Staff, Commission & Tips Reporting · $8 / staff member / month

Pay your team clearly,
and keep the peace

When staff understand exactly how their pay is calculated — commission, tips, and all — it builds trust. Quiet, consistent reporting makes that possible without extra work on your part.

What you'll have

Staff pay that's documented, consistent, and easy to stand behind

Each reporting period, you'll have a clear record of what each team member earned — base pay, commission on services or retail, and tips allocated according to your arrangement. Nothing left to memory or manual recalculation.

Every team member, accounted for

Full-time, part-time, chair renters — each arrangement handled on its own terms with consistent records.

Commission calculated accurately

Whether it's a flat rate, tiered structure, or a mix — commission figures are worked out the same way each time.

Tips allocated fairly and recorded

Tips tracked and distributed according to how your studio handles them — pool, individual, or a set split.

What you might recognise

Staff pay is one of the more delicate things a studio owner manages

In a salon or spa, pay isn't simply a salary. It often involves commission on services, a separate rate for retail sales, tips from clients, and sometimes different terms for different people. Keeping that consistent — and keeping everyone feeling fairly treated — takes more precision than most owners expect when they start out.

When the reporting isn't clear, small misunderstandings can build. A team member who can't see how their pay was calculated is more likely to doubt the number, even when it's correct. Good records protect everyone.

Commission rates tracked manually, prone to small errors

Tips handled informally with no written record

Different team members on different arrangements, hard to keep consistent

Pay queries from staff take up time you don't have

No clear paper trail if a question arises later

How we approach this

Reporting shaped around the way your team is actually paid

We don't apply a standard payroll template to your studio. We start from how your arrangements actually work — the commission rates you've agreed, how tips are handled, whether some staff are on salary and others on commission — and build a reporting format around that. Consistent, fair, and easy to share if anyone has a question.

Commission tracked to your rates

We record and apply your agreed commission structure — by service type, by individual, or however your studio operates — the same way every period.

Tips documented, not approximated

Whether tips are pooled, kept individually, or split according to a formula, we record the actual figures and how they were distributed.

Mixed arrangements, handled clearly

Employed staff, chair renters, and contract workers can all appear in the same report without confusion — each line clear about what it represents.

A record you can share with the team

Reports are written so they can be passed to staff if they want to check their figures — plain, legible, and without accounting shorthand.

What working together looks like

From scattered notes to reliable reports, without the overhead

We learn how your team is structured

A short conversation about who's on your team, how pay is currently calculated, and what your commission and tips arrangements look like. No forms required beforehand.

We set up a reporting format that matches reality

The format is agreed with you before we begin so that what you receive each period looks like your business, not a generic payroll sheet.

Reports arrive each period, quietly

You send us the relevant figures — appointments, retail sales, tips — and we produce the reports. No chasing, no calculation on your part.

Pay queries become easy to answer

When a team member asks how their pay was worked out, you have a clear document to point to. Most questions answer themselves.

Why per-person pricing makes sense

A small studio with two or three people and a larger team of ten have very different reporting needs. Pricing per staff member means you're not paying for more than you need, and the cost scales naturally as your business grows.

Works well alongside bookkeeping

Staff pay reporting and monthly bookkeeping complement each other — your books reflect the labour costs accurately when the pay figures are clear. Many studios take both together.

Example

3 staff members $24 / month

6 staff members $48 / month

10 staff members $80 / month

How we work

Consistent reporting builds the kind of trust that's hard to put a number on

A team that trusts how it's paid is more settled. There's less low-level tension, fewer conversations that take up your attention, and a clearer sense that the studio is being run fairly. None of that comes from a single report — it comes from the same report, delivered reliably, period after period.

Exact

Figures, not estimates

Commission and tips calculated from actual figures each period — not averaged, not approximated.

Yours

Format fits your studio

We don't apply a generic payroll template. The format reflects how your arrangements actually work.

Clear

Plain enough to share

Reports are written so a team member can read and understand their own figures without needing to ask what things mean.

Our commitment

We check our work, and we'll always explain how a figure was reached

Pay reporting leaves little room for vagueness. If a figure looks different from what a team member expected, we'll walk through how it was calculated and where each element came from. Transparency isn't optional in this kind of work — it's the whole point.

If your arrangements change — a new staff member, an adjusted commission rate, a different tip policy — we update the format to reflect it before the next report goes out. No lag, no outdated calculations.

We adjust when your team changes

Staff join and leave. Rates get renegotiated. We update our records and calculations before the next reporting period, not after.

An initial conversation is always free

We're happy to talk through your current setup and whether this service fits, before there's any commitment from your side.

We talk through your setup

A short call to understand your commission structure, how tips are handled, and what your current reporting looks like — or doesn't.

First reports delivered

Once we've agreed the format, we begin with the current period. Your first report arrives at the end of it, ready to share with the team if you choose to.
