Plan rules: [% of sold/collected, spiffs per membership, clawbacks for recalls/cancellations]
This period: [use tech initials and job totals only]
Explain the rules in plain English, show one worked example, and list any adjustments with reasons. I'll verify all math in payroll.Before / after
Before: Techs arguing about their check every two weeks.
After (example output):
Rule: 5% of collected revenue on sold repairs + $25 per membership. Example (MR): $8,400 collected x 5% = $420 + 3 memberships x $25 = $75. Adjustment: -$40 clawback, job 4402 refunded.
Tips
- Keep names and pay rates out of the AI. Use initials and totals.
- Paste totals and categories, not raw bank exports with account numbers.
- The AI drafts and organizes. Your accountant or CPA signs off on anything tax-related.
- Review every draft before you send it. You’re accountable for what goes out.
