Create job filtersLast updated on 03/22/2022

When you set up Configurable Payroll pay rules, you can create job filters to specify which jobs pay performance pay. Filters can be based on different aspects of the job including invoice subtotal, job or technician business unit, and more.


Things to know

  • You can add job filters when you set up pay rule for a pay profile.

  • If a pay rule does not have any job filters, the pay rule applies to all jobs.

  • You can apply multiple job filters to a pay rule.

  • After you set up your job filters, you can configure pay calculations for the pay rule.


How job filters work

You can filter for jobs based on numerical values and item names.

Number-based filters

You can filter for jobs based on numerical values related to the job such as discounts, invoice subtotal, splits, and more. For example:

  • An invoice discount of greater than 10% triggers a smaller bonus to discourage technicians from offering large discounts

    Note: The discounts and fees feature requires account configuration. Contact your success or implementation manager for details.

  • Two rules that filter based on invoice subtotal:

    • One rule filters for subtotals less than $1,000

    • The other rule filters for subtotals $1,000 and larger

Name-based filters

Job filters based on Invoice Business Unit,Technician Business Unit,Job Type, and Campaign search for the names of items that exist in your account. For example:

  • Bonus is paid for jobs booked off internet campaigns

  • Pay rule only applies to technicians assigned to install BUs for installation jobs


Set job filter type

You can add a job filter when you set up a pay rule after you select a pay type.

  1. On the Configure Pay Rules screen, in the Job Filter section, click Add filter and select a job filter type.Note: Available selections vary based on pay type.

    • Technician Split Rate—Percent of the split assigned to the technician on the invoice

    • Invoice Discount—Percent discount applied to the invoice Note: Invoice discounts are items added from your pricebook. Member discounts and manual discounts applied to the item price are not included.

    • Invoice Item Total—If the pay type is Item Bonus, the total of the invoice item

    • Invoice Margin—Percent of the invoice subtotal that comes from income items. Income items are pricebook items linked to an income general ledger (GL) account. Invoice margin is calculated as: [sum of income items] / [sum of invoice items] * 100%

    • Invoice Business Unit—BU of the invoice

    • Technician Business Unit—BU of the technician listed on the invoice

    • Job Type—Job type listed on the invoice
