The Team section carries the part of salon ownership nobody romanticizes: who earned what, who worked when, who owes rent, and whether the pay period is ready. The overview puts the numbers that need you at the top: pending commissions, hours tracked, and rent due.

​
Commissions

Each person’s commission arrangement is set on their roster entry: percentage of their service revenue, or a flat arrangement. As appointments complete, commission records accumulate under the Commissions tab, where they wait for your approval. That approval step is the point: you review what the system calculated against what you know happened (the comped fix, the split appointment) before anything reaches payroll. Approve as you go; month-end approval marathons are how mistakes hide.

​
Time

Everyone has a time mode, set in their editor on the Team tab:
  • Schedule: their working hours are their time. Right for most commissioned stylists.
  • Clock: they clock in and out, and the Time tab collects tracked hours for the pay period. Right for hourly folks: assistants, front desk.
The clock lives right in Sable, so “I forgot to clock in” is a conversation, not a spreadsheet reconstruction.

​
Booth rent

For booth renters, the Booth Rent tab tracks each rent agreement, what’s due, and what’s overdue. Rent stays separate from commissions because booth renters run their own book; what they owe you is rent, not a split. The overview counts overdue rent where you can’t not see it. Rent paid in cash or by check is recorded with Mark paid, which stamps who recorded it and when.

​
Paying rent (for booth renters)

Booth renters have their own Booth rent page. It opens on the charge that matters: the oldest one still unpaid. If more than one cycle is open, the page says so on the same line, so a rent that slipped never sits quietly behind a newer one. In the iPhone and iPad app, Booth rent is in the main menu, directly under Balance. It carries the whole page: what’s due, paying it, adding or removing a payment method, and automatic payments. Two ways to pay, and each names its rate where you choose it:
  • Bank account. Free. The rent leaves your bank and reaches the salon in about four business days, so it shows as Sending for a few days before it lands. Nothing is marked paid until the money actually clears.
  • Card. Adds 3.5% + 30¢. You see the exact dollars, and the total, on the confirmation before anything is charged.
Adding a bank account uses your bank’s own sign-in and verifies straight away. Cards are added the way you’d add one anywhere else. Both live under Manage, where you can add or remove methods at any time. This works the same on the web and in the iPhone and iPad app, and a method saved on one is there on the other. When a payment clears, you get a receipt.

​
Automatic payments

Choose a payment method, turn Automatic payments on, and rent is collected on its due date. You can turn it on or off from the web and from the iPhone and iPad app. Bank accounts are the usual choice: the free option means automatic rent costs nothing. When it’s on, the page simply tells you the next payment date, and you can turn it off from Manage. If a payment doesn’t go through, Sable tries again a couple of days later and once more after that. You’re told each time, and the page shows how many attempts are left, so a card that expired is something you hear about rather than discover. After the third try, automatic payments switch off and both you and the salon owner are told, so nobody is surprised by rent that quietly stopped arriving. Removing the method automatic payments use turns them off, and Sable says so when it happens, so rent never quietly stops collecting itself. With automatic payments off, you get a reminder when rent comes due and a couple of follow-ups if it stays unpaid.

​
Payroll

The Payroll tab assembles pay-period readiness from everything above: approved commissions, tracked hours, and active agreements. When the period’s records are approved and complete, you have clean numbers to pay from, and the history of what was approved stays on the record.

​
The weekly rhythm that keeps it painless

  1. Approve commission records a few times a week, not once a month.
  2. Skim the Time tab for missing punches while memories are fresh.
  3. Chase overdue rent when it turns overdue, not when it compounds.
  4. Let Performance be your Monday check: if its numbers look right, the details underneath usually are.
