In the Rule dialog box, enter the name in the Name box, click Per Service Level in the Rule Type box, click Hourly Rate in the Calculation Method box, and then click OK.
To specify an hourly rate for an employee
On the Company tab, click Employees, and then on the Employees page, click Edit next to the appropriate employee.
In the Employee dialog box, enter the appropriate value in the Hourly Rate box, and then click OK.
Note Make sure that the Use Commission Profiles option is selected.

To assign the employee to the commission profile with the hourly rate rule
On the Employees page, click the Profiles link in the Commissions column next to the appropriate employee.
On the New Commission Profiles page, in the Profiles column, select the commission profile with the rule that has the Hourly Rate calculation method, and then click the Save Profiles button.
To specify a labor time for a service
On the Company tab, click Services, and then on the Services page, click Edit next to the appropriate service with the Money price type.
In the Services dialog box, enter the appropriate value in the Labor Time box, and then click OK.
Note Labor Time for services with the Labor price type equals the Time value which is specified on the device while adding labor services to work orders.
To specify a labor time for a client service
On the Company tab, click Clients, and then on the Clients page, click the Services link in the Services column next to the appropriate client.
On the Client Services page, click the appropriate package in the Service Package box, and then click Edit next to the appropriate service.
In the Client Service dialog box, enter the appropriate value in the Labor Time box, and then click OK.
Important! If you haven’t set a client price for a client service, the client price equals service price or package price by default, so when you set only a labor time for this client service, you must remove the value in the Client Price box before saving the client service, otherwise the value in the Client Price box will be considered as specified client price.
Tip You can also specify labor time for a client service, by clicking the Clients link in the Service dialog box.

On the Reports tab, click Technician Commissions (New), and then on the Technician Commissions page, in the Search pane, enter the appropriate filter settings, and click Search.
