Commissioned Staff Payroll Budget for Retail Companies
? Commissioned Staff budget forms are considered employee payroll planning templates and are often used by retail chains and store managers to plan all the details related to compensation budgets for commission-based employees. Key functionality in this type of template captures all the details of a retail staff budget. This includes hire/termination dates, store revenue allocation to the full time employees (FTEs), salary increases and more. At the bottom of the form, the manager can enter expected new hires. You will find an example of this type of template below.
