Commission Structures, explained.

Flat commission is simple but pays your best stylist and your slowest the same rate. Tiers fix that: for example 25% up to a monthly threshold and 35% beyond, so the rate rewards momentum. Hybrids add a base salary for stability, common where labour law or hiring markets demand it, with a lower percentage on top. Whatever the structure, the maths must come from recorded sales, not memory: commission disputes are almost always data disputes. Model your structure with a commission calculator, then let the POS attribute every service so payday is arithmetic.
