Tutor payroll

Payroll works out what you owe each tutor and admin from the lessons they taught. Set it up in Settings › Payroll (the "Pay rates & rules" page), or from Reports › Payroll.

Pay rates: for each person choose "Per lesson" (the same amount every lesson), "Hourly" (the rate times each lesson's length) or "Share of the lesson price" (a percentage of what the family pays for the lesson itself: charges, discounts and late fees on the invoice don't change it), pick a Starting date, and click "Save rate". The studio owner is never on payroll.

Which lessons count (owner only): present lessons always count; excused absences and cancelled lessons never do. Choose whether to "Pay for late cancellations", "Pay for no-shows" and "Count past lessons nobody has marked", and (once Settings › Makeup rules is on) "Pay for makeups of lessons already paid". Lessons count for whoever taught the student at the time, so substitutes are paid correctly.

Paying: pick a period (this or last month, this or last half-month, or your own dates), check each person's lessons, add a "+ Bonus or deduction" if needed, pay your team your usual way, then use "Mark ... as paid" (choose who you paid, the date, and optionally "Add it to Expenses"). Each paid payroll is saved under History, with "Download CSV" and "Email statement" for each person. Tutors see only their own pay, on My pay.

LessonPaid never moves money: payroll is a record-keeping tool. You pay your team and handle their tax and employment paperwork.
