How Do I Pay My Employees Commission Only?

In order to pay an employee commission only, with no other hourly or salary rate, we recommend you set up the employee with anHourly Pay Typein the software, with an hourly rate of $1.00. You won’t actually be using this hourly rate to pay them, but this will ensure that only commissions will be paid.

• In Step 1 of payroll, in the employee’s row, leave the regular and overtime hours fields blank.
• If you don’t have your “Commission” money type marked as frequently used, click “Show all Pay Types” to display the “Commission” column.
• Enter the dollar amount of commissions for the employee.
• Proceed with the rest of your payroll as normal.
