# Commissions, time, rent, and payroll

> The employment side of the salon, from tracked hours and commission approvals to booth rent, in one place.

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 on the roster:

* **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.

## 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 the **Overview** be your Monday check: if its numbers look right,
   the details underneath usually are.
