Frequently Asked Questions
How is Affiliate commission calculated?
The Affiliate commission is calculated based on the commission of the Lesson, which is the difference between the Client's Charge Rate and the Tutor's Pay Rate. The percentage taken is set via People > Affiliates > select the Affiliate > Edit Profile > Accounting.
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 able to add these details. To do this, go to People > Affiliates > select the Affiliate > Accounting and click 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 is there no 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 on the main Job page? You can check this via Activity > Jobs > select the Job. See Assigning Affiliates to Clients & Jobs for the full steps.
Has an Affiliate commission percentage been set on the Affiliate's profile, via People > Affiliates > select the Affiliate > Edit Profile > Accounting?
