## Things to know about payroll (primary payroll settings)

### Job costs

- [When configured as deductible](/construction/docs/deduct-job-costs-from-a-technician-s-commissionable-base), job costs are *deducted from invoice subtotals* when calculating the technician's commission base.

### Business unit fees

- [Business unit fees](/construction/docs/enter-payroll-settings) (charges applied to the technician, taken off the top of every service) are **deducted from the technician's commission base**.

## Breakdown of Gross Pay

**Gross Pay = Net Commission + Bonuses + Adjustments**

**Net Commission** (([Sum of commissionable invoice items] - [Business unit fees] - [Sum of commissionable payroll adjustments paid to other technicians]) - [Total Costs]) x [Commission rate]) + (([Sum of commissionable invoice items] - [Business unit fees] - [Sum of commissionable payroll adjustments paid to other technicians]) - [Total Costs]) x [Range bonus rate]) + ([Sum of invoice subtotals where the technician earned sold by credit] x [Sold by rate]) + **Bonuses** [Sum of flat SKU bonuses for all items on the invoice] + [Sum of percentage SKU bonuses for all items on the invoice] + **Adjustments** [Sum of direct payroll adjustment amounts] + [Sum of net amounts of commissionable payroll adjustments] + ([Sum of net amounts of commissionable payroll adjustments] x [Range bonus rate])

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Technician Splits are applied to Net Commission and Bonuses. Technician splits are *not* applied to payroll adjustments.

Split determines how much credit each technician is getting for the job. For example: If two technicians perform work on a job, the split could be an even 50%-50%, or it could be 75%-25% if the first technician did a bulk of the work. By default 100% of the technician split will go to the first technician assigned to the job.
