packet to allow your team the ability to reconcile your benefit invoices.

Our team can provide assistance to your company in the development of a standard commission plan. This standard format will be
used each month to determine commission payments.

Standard commission reports will allow flexibility to assign up to:
  • 2 Representative Types (Account Executive & Recruiter)
  • 3 Class Structures (W2, 1099/C2C and Direct)
  • Tiered Structure (Standard tiers for each representative type)
Variances to this format will require additional development which will incur an additional charge.

The intent is to streamline your processes to allow for growth and ease of administration. Additional class structures may be assessed
additional fees.

the recognition of revenue on the date the deal starts and not when the deal is made.
