Allocating Assignments for Commission

*Note* TempWorks is no longer offering new installations of the Enterprise Commission Module.

What is the Commission Module?

The commission module is designed to help users calculate commission accurately and efficiently, while allowing more flexibility on formulas utilized to produce commission results per company. Along with customized commission calculation plans, the commission module makes reporting and tracking easy. 

*Note* The commission module, like most Enterprise modules, may require additional licensing and setup in your system. Please contact your Account Manager or TempWorks representative for more information. 

The commission module requires the security role 'Commission Module' or related role that will grant the user access to viewing the Commission Module information.

Commission Allocations

For each assignment, users will add one or more assignment allocation entries. Doing this will dictate which service rep(s) get commissions for the assignment. The default assignment allocations come either from the customer for this assignment, or the associated branch. Default assignment allocations will populate in the assignment if created at the customer level, but can be overridden on the individual assignment. 

For Example, users may setup defaults at the customer level for light industrial orders with hundreds of assignments and setup parameters that break out commission allocations. The service rep who interviewed the candidates get a percentage, the account manager gets a percent of commission, and the sales person receives a cut as well. 

Each assignment allocation setup will need to specify:

  1. Service Rep- The rep(s) that will get paid commission for this assignment
  2. Branch- The branch associated with the commission payment
  3. Credit Type- The type of credit being applied, sales vs. recruiter 
  4. Commission base percentage- Percent of the calculated commission that the service rep will get
