Staff, roster & commission
Commission rules that follow the service line, a roster that matches the diary, and a payout run somebody can check.
The problem
Most salons calculate commission once a month, by hand, from a stack of bills. It takes an evening, it is impossible to audit, and the first stylist who disputes a number has no way to be shown they are wrong — or right.
A month of bills re-added by hand on payday
Tips mixed into commission so neither number is trustworthy
No answer when a stylist asks which bills their figure came from
In practice
Capabilities
Commission is a property of the service line, not a percentage guessed at the end of the month. Different rates for colour, cuts and retail, and an override per staff member where you have agreed one.
When two stylists work one ticket, commission splits by the lines each of them performed. A discount reduces the line it applied to, not everyone else’s earnings.
A tip is the customer’s money passing through you. It is tracked against the staff member and the payment method, and never folded into commissionable revenue.
Close a period and every staff member gets a statement listing the bills behind the figure. The total ties back to the invoice ledger, so it reconciles rather than approximates.

The flow
Rates per service category, overrides for the people you have a different deal with.
Each service line records who performed it as the session is built — not reconstructed later.
Run the payout for the period. Every figure carries the bills it came from.
Hand a stylist their statement. Every rupee traces to an invoice line and a date.
Questions
Yes, and that is the normal case. Each service line carries its own stylist, so a cut by one person and a colour by another split correctly without anyone doing arithmetic.
