Editing the Employee Record 

The maximum number of staff that the system will support is 200 in the professional Edition, 100 in the Standard Edition and 2 in the Basic Edition. If you are getting close to the maximum amount you should delete old staff members and reorganize the file only after running your year end.  Do not delete staff members during the year as your financial information is indexed to the staff member and some reports will no longer show information for the deleted staff.

Select Staff Manager from the Sales File Menu.


Sales File Menu


Staff List Screen

The staff list shows each of the staff and their status on the system.  Double click on a staff member to display their name above the list and to the other tabs for the staff member.

To add a new staff member click on the new staff icon, enter the information on the general, notes and commission tabs then click  on the save icon.


General Tab


Notes/Status Tab

Staff Status 

If a staff person has left the salon, you can set them to inactive to disable their staff code and to stop their name from showing on a number of the reports. Note that they will be included in historical sales reports until year end is run.  Staff should only be deleted from the system immediately following a year end procedure.  You can return them to active status by checking the box again.

If a staff member is to be active in the salon and can access the sales portion of the system but is not to show in the appointment book uncheck the Show in Appointment Book box.

Editing Commission Rates 

You may adjust commission rates at any time.  Commission reports can be run for sales based upon selected time periods.  Note that commissions are set for retail product sales and the first 20 service inventory items in your inventory list.  All other service sales will be calculated using the rate set for other. See more on setting commission rates.


Commission Rates Tab

Quick set buttons are available to set all rates to 0.0 or to a fixed rate entered by the user.  To set rates individually click on the rate box and enter the percentage.  Percentages should be entered with a single decimal point.  Do not leave a commission field blank, for none enter 0.0. Click on the save icon after adjusting the rates.

Using and Reporting Commissions 

A commission report is available from the reports menu of the Staff Manager.  You may run the report for all staff, only active staff or for a single staff member.  The reports can be run for any time period desired.  A calendar selection tool will be used to select the dates.  You cannot select partial days.

Staff List

You may print a list of your staff by clicking on the reports menu and selecting staff list.

Staff Time Record Reports

You may require staff to log on to the system before their staff codes will function.  To set the log on/out feature check the box on the security tab in preferences.  The staff must also log out at the end of their shift.  When the system is shut down it will log out all staff who are currently logged in.


Staff Logon Screen (Logout Similar)

With this feature enabled you are able to report on hours worked by the staff. Daily time in and time out plus hours/minutes working for each day can be printed for any time period selected and for each staff member. The report can be accessed from the report menu when the feature is enabled.
