A pay rate defines how Momence calculates a teacher's pay for each class or appointment they teach. Create the rate first, then assign it to teachers. When you run payroll, Momence uses these rates to calculate each teacher’s pay.
Create a Pay Rate
Click Studio Setup > Pay Rates > Add pay rate.
Enter Pay Rate Name.
Under Basic settings, choose how to pay the teacher.
Base rate: The amount the teacher earns for teaching the class, regardless of how many customers register.
Pay per customer: An additional amount for each customer who shows. You can use this without a base rate.
Percentage split: Splits the class’s total revenue with the teacher. The teacher receives the percentage you enter.
Under Additional pay settings, add any further pay options.
% split: The % of total class or appointment revenue the teacher earns for hosting the class or appointment.
Min pay: The minimum amount the teacher will be paid for a class.
Max pay: The maximum amount the teacher will be paid for a class.
Click Add.
The Basic settings and Additional pay settings work together to calculate the teacher’s pay. Hover over the question mark in each section for an explanation.
Pay More as Attendance Grows (Optional)
Add rules to set progressive pay ranges. A progressive range pays a higher rate as more customers attend, which can encourage teachers to fill their classes.
Example: A pay rate pays $2 per customer for the first 15 customers, then $3 per customer for the next 15. The teacher earns:
Customers who show | Calculation | Teacher earns |
15 | 15 × $2 | $30 |
17 | (15 × $2) + (2 × $3) | $36 |
30 | (15 × $2) + (15 × $3) | $75 |
Require Check-In Before Paying (Optional)
By default, teachers are paid for every registered customer. To pay only for customers who checked in:
Scroll to Additional Settings at the bottom of the page.
Turn on the setting that requires customers to be checked in for teachers to get paid.
Only count customers who are checked in.
OR
Include customers who have late-canceled.
Option to not use either.
Click Add.
Set an Hourly Rate for Staff Who Clock In
Pay rates apply to teachers paid per class or appointment. For staff paid by the hour, such as front desk staff who clock in and out, set the rate on their staff account.
Click Settings > Staff Accounts.
Go to + Add Hourly Rate
Name your hourly rate and set an amount the employee earns per hour.
Click Save.
The Combined Payroll Report adds hourly rates to all other rates.
