Commission tier
A commission rate that rises as a stylist’s takings do.
A commission tier is a band in a stylist’s pay structure: below a certain level of takings they earn one percentage, above it they earn a higher one. It exists to reward the stylists who fill their column without committing the salon to that rate on every booking. Salyntra supports sliding bands as well as a flat rate, so a salon can run "40% up to ₦300,000, 45% above it" rather than picking one number for everybody.
Why not just raise everyone’s rate?
Because a flat rate that is generous enough to keep your best stylist is expensive across a whole team, and one that is affordable across the team is not generous enough to keep your best stylist. Tiers let both be true at once.
What counts toward a tier?
The takings attributed to that stylist over the payroll period. Because a service line names the person who performed it, a visit split across three people counts toward three different stylists rather than landing wherever the booking was made.
Common questions
Is the higher rate applied to everything, or only the amount above the threshold?
That is your decision when you set the bands up, and it is worth being explicit with your team about which one you have chosen — the two produce noticeably different pay at the same takings.
