Creating Pay Templates

How to set up and leverage pay templates

How it works

For Payroll-1 Customers

With Payroll-1, you can create simple pay templates.

Templates by Pay Type

Templates can be based on various pay types including flat rate, pay per unit, pay per mile or a percentage. 

Pay Type Description
Flat Rate Apply a fixed amount per manifest.
Pay per Unit The rate is applied to the total commodity weight from the manifest.
Pay per Mile The rate is applied to the total miles from the manifest.
Percentage The percentage is applied to the total earnings from the order.
Deduction For recurring deductions like insurance — applied as a negative number.

For Payroll-2 Customers

With Payroll-2, you can create and configure more complex pay templates.

What’s different

  • Use any field as a base for percentage or unit pay

    Example: Pay 10% of margin, 5% of total revenue, or $5 per stop 

  • Pay per mile and Pay per unit are consolidated into Pay per dimension
  • When a Sales Commissionee is assigned to an Order, their pay templates are automatically calculated and applied

How It Works

  1. Choose a Pay Type

    Select between Flat rate, Percentage, Deduction, or Pay per dimension.

  2. Select the Reference Field

    Pick an object (Quote, Order, or Manifest) and choose the numeric field that the rate will be based on

  3. Assign Templates to Users, either Sales Users or Drivers
  4. Apply Automatically

    Once configured, your pay templates will automatically calculate the correct payout when a driver or commissionee is assigned to a record.
