It's simple! All that needs to be done is to generate Payment Orders. This will look through any Lesson(s) that the Affiliate's associated Student is attached to, then generate Payment Orders with their commission included.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Affiliate commission calculated?
Please note that the Affiliate commission is calculated based on the commission of the Lesson (difference between the Client's charge rate and the Tutor's pay rate).
How can I pay Affiliates using Pay Runs?
The first step to pay Affiliates via Pay Runs is to include a Payout Bank Account on their profile. Administrators are the only users that are able to add these details. To do this, navigate to People > Affiliates > Open the Affiliate's profile > Accounting > Click on "Add Bank Details".
Adding Payout Bank Account details for Affiliates.
Once a Payout Bank Account has been added, Affiliates will then be paid when Payment Orders are generated and added to a Pay Run for Lessons which they have been added on to.
Why isn’t there a Payment Order being generated for an Affiliate?
There are several reasons why this might be:
Is there a commission on the Lesson that the Affiliate has been assigned to? If the charge rate is the same as (or less than) the pay rate, then a Payment Order cannot be generated for that Affiliate, as there is no commission on the Lesson.
Has the Affiliate been added to the Student profile on the main Job page?
Has an Affiliate commission percentage been set on the Affiliate’s profile for the Job?
