Before you can link Commission to an Employee, the Commission Type must be added to the ‘master list’ under Commission on the Payroll Setup screen. Only Commission Types listed here can be used within a Pay Wages entry.
Add a Commission Type
•Click Add. The Commission Type screen will appear
•Enter the Name of this Commission. Commissions are not created with a preset or default amount. The amount is specified within each Pay Wages screen, as commission by nature is presumed to vary from pay to pay.
•S.G.C. – Is the Commission type you are creating included in the Ordinary Times Earnings (OTE) that are used to calculate the superannuation percentage? You need to know this for each of the types of pay you set up. This setting will apply for this Commission in every circumstance and cannot be overridden in either the employee screen, or in the Pay Wages screen.
•Taxable – Is the Commission type you are creating included in the amount that tax is calculated on? This setting will apply for this Commission in every circumstance and cannot be overridden in either the employee screen, or in the Pay Wages screen.
•Account – Select the expense account to which this Commission should be debited. Note that the account selected in this Commission will apply in every circumstance. It cannot be changed for each employee, and cannot be changed within a Pay Wages screen.
To link Commissions from the Stock Card, you should create a specific Commission Type just for this, and the Account you select must be the account used by Dealerlogic for Commissions Payable - by default this is L- 13800. Don't use this Commission Type for other commissions that are not recorded on Stock Cards.
