PunchCommission · Bonuses · Travel
Sales, bonuses, and the drive between jobs. Paid right.
Employees log sales with a tap. Owners set the deal once. Punch prices every approved sale, bonus, and travel hour into the pay period, with overtime math done the honest way.
Pay that matches how your team actually earns
Commission starts on the punch screen. An employee logs what they sold, the sale waits in the approvals queue, and a manager or owner signs off. Approved sales pay out with the pay period at that person's deal: a percent of the sale or an amount per unit. Set one deal for the whole organization, or override it per person in Members.
Bonuses are owner-entered and flexible. Add a one-time bonus to any pay period, or run them on a cadence: per pay period, monthly, quarterly, or annual. Group members into teams under a manager and give each team its own cadence. Punch reminds you the night before an interval closes, and recipients see the bonus the moment the period is marked paid.
Travel time is its own kind of shift, with an optional travel rate per person. And the overtime math stays honest throughout: commission and earned bonuses raise the overtime rate the way payroll rules require, California's flat-sum rule included, and every export carries the money.
How it works
Log a sale in two taps
Employees record a sale amount or a unit count right from the punch screen. If they're on a shift, the sale attaches to it.
Managers approve every sale
Pending sales wait in the approvals queue next to pending shifts. Nobody can approve their own sale.
One deal, or one per person
Set an organization-wide deal: a percent of sales or an amount per unit. Anyone whose deal differs gets a personal override in Members.
Bonuses on any cadence
One-time, per pay period, monthly, quarterly, or annual. Teams under a manager can each run their own cadence.
Travel time, priced fairly
In-transit hours are recorded as their own kind of shift, with an optional travel rate. A travel hour and a job-site hour each pay exactly what they should.
Honest overtime, everywhere
Commission and earned bonuses raise the overtime rate the way payroll rules require, California's flat-sum rule included. Exports to Excel and CSV carry every dollar.
Built for teams that earn beyond the hour
Install crews that sell on site
HVAC, solar, and window techs log the upsell the moment it closes. The office approves it that evening, and it pays out with the period, folded into overtime correctly.
Salons and shops on commission
Stylists and retail staff log service and product sales. The owner sets one deal, overrides the chair-renters who negotiated differently, and payday math takes care of itself.
Crews with windshield time
Landscaping and roofing crews moving between properties record the drive as travel time at its own rate, and the blended overtime math handles the rest.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
- When does a sale actually pay out?
- After a manager or owner approves it, with the pay period it happened in. Punch prices it at the deal in force when you mark the period paid, and the payout sheet shows the commission line before you confirm.
- Does commission count toward overtime pay?
- Yes. Approved commission is folded into the overtime rate, so overtime hours pay more for someone earning commission, including California's flat-sum bonus rule. Punch applies your organization's overtime rules to the enriched rate. Punch is not legal advice.
- What's the difference between a bonus that counts toward overtime and one that doesn't?
- You choose per bonus. A bonus marked as counting toward overtime is folded into the overtime rate like commission. One that doesn't (a true discretionary bonus) is added on top of the period's pay without changing the rate.
- How does travel pay work?
- Travel is its own kind of shift. Hourly and per-location employees are paid travel hours at their travel rate, or their regular hourly rate if no travel rate is set. Overtime math blends the two rates so every hour pays what it should. Salaried employees' travel is covered by salary and still shows on the timesheet.
- Can employees see each other's sales or deals?
- No. Employees see only their own sales log. Deals and rates live in Members, visible to owners and managers, never to teammates.
