How does payroll tracking work for nail salons?
Payroll tracking for nail salons involves recording all employee earnings -- commissions, hourly wages, tips, and booth rent -- so the data can be exported to a payroll processor like QuickBooks, Paychex, ADP, or Gusto. Tilavon tracks commission structures (percentage-based, tiered, or flat-rate) and automatically calculates per ticket. Cash and card tips are tracked separately and can be split across team members with configurable rules. Booth rent for independent contractors is tracked alongside employee earnings. When it's time to run payroll, salon owners export the data in one click in CSV, Excel, or PDF to their payroll processor's native format, email reports to their accountant, or enable automatic QuickBooks sync with payroll journal entries. Employees receive notifications when their pay statements are ready. Payroll periods can be locked after export to prevent accidental edits. Labor cost reports and employee earnings dashboards give owners visibility into their biggest expense.
