What is Commission structure?
A commission structure is the rule set that converts provider production into pay: the percentage or tiers, the basis it applies to (regular versus discounted price), the timing of recognition (at sale versus at redemption), and the treatment of packages, memberships, tips, and retail. It is the contract between production and compensation.
How it works in an aesthetic clinic
An injector earns 35% of collected service revenue, calculated on the discounted price when promotions apply, recognized at redemption for package sessions, plus 10% on retail they sell. The platform computes each pay period from actual checkout data, so the provider's dashboard and the payroll report agree to the dollar.
Commission structure vs salary
| Commission structure | Pay tracks personal production under written basis and timing rules |
|---|---|
| Salary | Pay is fixed regardless of production; the clinic carries the volume risk |
Why it matters for clinic operators
Basis ambiguity, not percentage rates, causes most payroll disputes: what happens on a discounted service, a package session, a membership redemption. Write the rules down once and let software compute them every period.
