Tip: More information regarding the fields for the New Compensation Plan:

• Min. Company Gross Margin % (The Threshold): The minimum profit margin a job must hit before a participant can earn their full commission (e.g., 35%). It acts as the dividing line for extra incentives or deductions.

• Sale Commission % (The Base Rate): The standard compensation rate, expressed as a percentage of the total sale.

• % Share of Profit Above Min. Margin (The Incentive): The percentage of extra profit given to the participant if the job's actual margin beats the minimum threshold.

  > Example: If a job makes $300 more profit than the minimum threshold, and this field is set to 25%, the participant earns an extra $75.

• % Share of Profit Below Min. Margin (The Deduction): The percentage of lost profit deducted from the commission if the job's actual margin falls below the minimum threshold.

  > Example: If a job makes $200 less profit than the minimum threshold, and this field is set to 25%, $50 is subtracted from the commission.

• Max. Sale % Commissioned (The Ceiling): The absolute maximum commission percentage allowed per job, capping total payout even if costs were incredibly low.

• Min. Sale % Commissioned (The Floor): The absolute minimum commission percentage guaranteed per job. Setting this to 0% ensures a participant's commission is never penalized into a negative balance, even if job costs were unusually high.
