Overview

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  • You must have admin access to your studio's profile
  • Know how each team member should be paid (hourly, flat rate, or percentage)
  • Staff must be assigned to classes or clocking time for hours to calculate

Step-by-step instructions


Step 1: Open payroll configuration settings

  1. Click your Studio Name at the top of CORE
  2. Select Edit Profile
  3. From the left-hand menu, click Payroll


Step 2: Configure pay types

You can set up different tiers based on how your staff is compensated:

  • Group classes:
    • Flat rate per class (e.g. $35)
    • Flat rate + bonus
  • Private sessions:
    • Flat rate or percentage of session value
  • Administrative staff:
    • Hourly rate (e.g. $15/hour)
    • Hours tracked via Time Clock

💡 This setup gives you flexibility to tailor pay structures for all roles.


Step 3: Assign staff to payroll tiers

  1. Create the appropriate pay tier(s)
  2. Assign instructors or admin staff to a tier based on their role
  3. Once assigned, the system will track class assignments and/or time clock entries

Step 4: Run your payroll report

  1. After a week (or pay period), run your Payroll Report
  2. You’ll get:
    • Instructor name
    • Classes taught
    • Date and time of each session
    • Hourly or flat rate
    • Total due

✅ If any staff use the Time Clock feature, their total hours and pay will also appear on the report.


Expected outcome

At the end of each payroll cycle, you’ll be able to generate a clean, accurate report showing what each instructor or staff member earned — saving you time and preventing payroll errors.


FAQs

Q: Does the system track unpaid classes?

A: No — the class must be assigned to the instructor for it to show in payroll.

Q: Can I run payroll for bi-weekly or monthly cycles?

A: Yes — simply choose your desired date range when generating the report.
