Setup Compensation Scales and Compensation Methods

You can set up Compensation Scales and Compensation Methods in the Time Clock & Payroll section of your Point of Sale app.

If your Payroll includes Scales, begin with Step 1. If not, then skip ahead to Step 3.

1. Click the Menu Icon (≡) and then click Setup > Setup Workers > Setup Compensation Scales
   
   • Tip: Include a final level that goes up to 99999.99, or an amount that cannot be exceeded, to cap the levels.    
   • Create and edit compensation scales to be included as part of compensation methods. Compensation scales are used to pay workers based on goals or levels they achieve, increasing the commission percentage at each predetermined level.
