Understanding the fields
- Name — the only required field. This is what shows up in the employee picker at billing and in reports.
- Phone — optional contact number for the employee.
- Commission % — an optional percentage. If set, the employee earns a share of the sales attributed to them on top of any salary — this same percentage is what feeds the incentive component if you also run payroll for them (see Payroll & salary).
- Target amount — an optional sales target for the employee, used purely for tracking progress in reports; it doesn’t affect commission or payroll calculations.
- Store/location — if you run more than one location, you can tie an employee to a specific one.
- Active — toggling an employee inactive hides them from the billing picker for new sales, without deleting their history — past invoices and reports linked to them are unaffected.
- Preferred invoice series — an optional default numbering series to use when this employee creates an invoice, if your store has more than one series set up.
Salary type and amount for payroll are set from the same employee record,
but only matter if you’ve turned on the Employee HR add-on — see
Payroll & salary.
