Employees and Payroll Commissions
  • Orchid POS uses gross margin target levels to calculate employee commissions.
    • For example, you can set the system to calculate a 5% commission on any item sold that has a 60% or higher profit margin.
  • You can set multiple levels of commission.
  • If an item is not eligible for percentage commission, you can turn it off in the part’s details page.
  • If an item is eligible for a specific dollar amount commission, you can set the amount in a part’s details page.

Setting Commission Levels

  1. Go to Manage > Employees > Commissions.
  2. Enter at least one commission percentage and the profit margin level an item must be sold at to be eligible for that commission.

  3. Click Update to save the changes.
    • New commission settings will only affect items sold and/or delivered from the time the commission level is created or changed. It will not back date to affect previous sales.
