Two questions this answers: which of my people actually generate money, and how much of the tip pot do I owe each of them. They are different questions and ClippingCash keeps them apart.
1 Open worker earnings
Go to Worker earnings. Four tiles sit at the top:
- Revenue generated
- Jobs completed
- Tips to pay out
- Workers
2 Pick a pay period
Pick a date range to see a pay period. Set it to match how you actually pay people, weekly or fortnightly, and this page becomes the sheet you run payroll from rather than a curiosity.
You can also filter to a single worker, or leave it on All workers.
3 Read the columns
The per-worker table gives you:
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Worker | The person |
| Revenue for company | Each completed job’s invoice credited to whoever did it |
| Avg / job | Revenue divided by jobs |
| Tips earned | Tip money owed to that worker |
| Tip payout | What has been paid out |
Revenue for company is not what the worker gets paid. It is what their work brought in. Comparing it to what you pay them is how you find out whether a route is worth running.
Avg per job is the number that actually tells you something. A worker with high total revenue might just have been given more jobs. A worker with a high average is either faster or working better-paying properties, and it is worth knowing which.
4 Tips are money you owe
Tips earned is separate. It is the tip money to hand the worker on top of their wages.
This is a liability, not revenue. The Tips to pay out tile is the total sitting there unpaid, and the same figure appears in the Transactions ledger as Tips (owe workers).
Watch that tile. If it only ever grows, you are accumulating an obligation to your crew and it will eventually be raised with you, probably by someone who has been counting.
The Tip payout column is how you check what has actually been handed over against what was earned.
5 Using it for real decisions
Run it once a fortnight and it answers questions you would otherwise guess at:
- Is a crew member generating enough to cover their cost?
- Is one route worth substantially less per job than another?
- Are tips concentrated with one person? That usually means customers like them, which is worth knowing before they hand in their notice.
- Have you actually paid out the tips you are holding?
A caution on comparisons
Do not use raw revenue to rank people. A worker sent to five small residential lots will always look worse than one sent to two commercial sites, and that is your scheduling, not their effort.
Compare like with like, use Avg / job, and remember the number does not see the customer who specifically asks for that person.
