Project Commission Setup

Guide Steps

Introduction/Overview

This guide explains how to add an employee to a project to calculate their commission for that project.

There are three main parts to setting up commissions:

  1. Setup the employee’s commission rate (see related guide)
  2. Setup the company default commission formulas (see related guide)
  3. Add players to a project that should get commissions (this guide)

All three of these things work together in order to assist in calculating the commission that an employee gets.
