Commission plans: tiered rates that land on the payslip
In most companies commission is worked out in a side spreadsheet and then typed into payroll, which is exactly where the audit trail disappears. In NXORA a commission plan is defined once with its tiers, employees are attached to it, the period's achievement is entered, and the payable amount is calculated and posted to the payslip as its own line — with the per-tier breakdown still there to review.
How it works
- 1
Define the plan
Consecutive tiers, each with a floor, a ceiling and a percentage or fixed amount.
- 2
Attach employees
Different employees can follow different plans by role or team.
- 3
Enter achievement
Sales or collections for the period; tiers apply progressively.
- 4
Post it to payroll
The result enters the period's payslip as an auditable commission line.

Frequently asked questions
- Do tiers apply to the whole amount or only to the portion inside each tier?
- To the portion inside each tier (progressive). It is the global standard because it avoids an unfair jump the moment a threshold is crossed.
- Is commission taxable?
- You decide. Commission is a salary component like any other and can be included in or excluded from the tax base and any other deduction base.
- Can we pay a one-off commission?
- Yes — add a commission amount to the period directly without a plan, or record it as a separate bonus.
