This setup offers flexible compensation based on how clients pay—whether with session credits, drop-ins, or unlimited memberships. Additionally, fixed rates can be set for sessions paid with **unlimited credits** or via platforms like **ClassPass**, ensuring instructors are still compensated when per-credit values cannot be determined. --- ## Prerequisites - Admin access to **Edit Profile** - Session types already created in Core (e.g., Group Classes, One-on-One) - Payroll report access via **Reports \> Staff \> Payroll** > Tip: Plan your credit pricing structure ahead of time for better accuracy when assigning percent-based payouts. --- ### Step-by-Step Instructions ### Step 1: **Open Payroll Settings** - Log into Core. - Click your **profile initials** in the upper-right corner. - Select **Edit Profile**. - In the left sidebar, click **Payroll**. ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440828166_8426ea54_image-20250520184515-175-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440828166_8426ea54_image-20250520184515-175-1.png) --- ### Step 2: **Create a New Payroll Tier** - Click the **plus icon (+)** to add a **Payroll Tier**. ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440830961_17b9cef5_image-20250520184537-176-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440830961_17b9cef5_image-20250520184537-176-1.png) - Name the tier (e.g., “30% Class Earnings”). ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440833421_baf57d1a_image-20250520184547-177-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440833421_baf57d1a_image-20250520184547-177-1.png) - Save and select the new tier from the dropdown. ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440836304_fa3c109d_image-20250520184600-178-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440836304_fa3c109d_image-20250520184600-178-1.png) --- ### Step 3: **Add Tier Configuration** - Click the **plus icon (+)** next to **Tier Configuration**. ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440838700_964a3225_image-20250520184611-179-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440838700_964a3225_image-20250520184611-179-1.png) - Choose the **Session Type** this tier applies to (e.g., Group Classes). ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440841695_38a495c5_image-20250520184621-180-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440841695_38a495c5_image-20250520184621-180-1.png) --- ### Step 4: **Select a Percent-Based Payroll Type** Choose one of the two options: - **Percent per Credit / Amount Paid** - **Percent per Credit / Package Rate** ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440844253_c299220a_image-20250520184631-181-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440844253_c299220a_image-20250520184631-181-1.png) --- ### Step 5: **Enter the Percentage Value** - For example, enter **50** to calculate 50% of the session’s revenue for payroll. - Click **Save**. ![Article image](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/1759440846718_641d0726_image-20250520184641-182-1.png?width=1541&height=911&name=1759440846718_641d0726_image-20250520184641-182-1.png) > Tip: You can assign different percentages for different session types or instructors. --- ### Example Calculation: Known Credit Values Let’s say 10 clients attend a Group Class, paying as follows: - **4 clients** used $10 credits → $40 - **4 clients** used $9 credits → $36 - **2 clients** paid $15 drop-in → $30 **Total Session Value** = $106 **Instructor Earnings @ 50%** = $53 --- ### Handling Unlimited Credits For unlimited memberships or ClassPass where credit values can’t be calculated: - Scroll down in the tier configuration. - Toggle ON **“Use Base Rate for Unlimited Packages”**. - Enter a flat value (e.g., **$7**) to apply per client using unlimited credits. --- ### Example Calculation: With Unlimited Credits Let’s say 15 clients attend a session: - **4 clients** used $10 credits → $40 - **4 clients** used $9 credits → $36 - **2 clients** paid $15 drop-in → $30 - **3 clients** on unlimited memberships → $7 x 3 = $21 **Total Session Value** = $127 **Instructor Earnings** = (40 + 36 + 30) × 50% + 21 = **$74** --- ## Expected Outcome Once configured, your instructors will automatically be paid based on: - The real value of credits or drop-ins used by clients - A fixed rate for sessions paid via unlimited memberships - The defined percentage in their assigned Payroll Tier This improves accuracy, saves admin time, and ensures fair compensation based on actual session value. --- ## FAQs **Q: Can I assign a flat rate for all sessions instead of using percentages?** Yes. You can create separate payroll tiers using fixed rates for specific session types. **Q: What if I don’t assign a value for unlimited credits?** The system won’t be able to calculate a per-credit value, and instructor earnings will not reflect those clients. Always assign a base rate if you use unlimited packages. **Q: Can I use this for 1:1 and workshop sessions too?** Yes. Percent per Credit tiers can be assigned to any session type you configure. --- **Need help?** Reach out to our support team via [support@hapana.com](mailto:support@hapana.com) - [Member Management](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account Settings](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#account-settings) - [Client Accounts](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#client-accounts) - [Edit Profile](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#edit-profile) - [Retail Configurations](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#retail-configurations) - [Other](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#other) - [Schedule](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#schedule) - [Client Page](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#client-page) - [General](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#general) - [Reporting](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Retail Dashboard](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#retail-dashboard) - [Team Settings](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#team-settings) - [Hapana Member Access Control (MAC) Doors](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#hapana-member-access-control-mac-doors) - [Cash Drawer](https://support.hapana.com/member-management?hsLang=en#cash-drawer) - [Marketing Solutions](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [App](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#app) - [Contacts](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#contacts) - [Marketing](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#marketing) - [Conversations](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#conversations) - [Settings](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#settings) - [Automations](https://support.hapana.com/marketing-solutions?hsLang=en#automations) - [Branded Solutions](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Branded App](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#branded-app) - [Branded Kiosk](https://support.hapana.com/branded-solutions?hsLang=en#branded-kiosk) - [Hapana Hub](https://support.hapana.com/hapana-hub?hsLang=en) - [Website Embed Widgets](https://support.hapana.com/website-embed-widgets?hsLang=en) - [About us](https://hapana.com/about-us/) - [Careers](https://hapana.com/careers/) - [Contact us](https://hapana.com/contact-us/) - [Privacy policy](https://hapana.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & conditions](https://hapana.com/terms-and-conditions/) [![email-logo.png](https://support.hapana.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hapana_2022/email_2022/footer%20logo.png?width=300&height=78&name=footer%20logo.png "email-logo.png")](http://hapana.com?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2025, Hapana
