Commission ladders

Bands are marginal, not brackets. A rep who hits $60,000 does not earn the higher rate on all $60,000. They earn the first band’s rate on the first slice, and the higher rate only on the amount above it.

Building a ladder

Feature	What you can do	Status
The ladder list	Every ladder in the workspace as a card, with paging	✅
Create a ladder	Name, description, scope, aggregation window, currency	✅
Choose the scope	”Org wide, volume pooled” counts the whole org’s volume together. “Per reportee, tracked separately” counts each rep on their own	✅
Choose the window	Monthly, quarterly, yearly or lifetime. This is the period the volume resets on	✅
Build the bands	Set the ceiling and the rate for each band. Each band’s ceiling becomes the next band’s floor, so you cannot leave a gap or an overlap	✅
The ladder bar	A live picture of the ladder that fills in as you type the bands	✅
The earnings simulator	Type a sale amount and how much the rep has already sold this period, and see exactly what they earn	✅

Scope, window and currency are locked after creation, because live plans are already earning against them. If you get one wrong, create a new ladder rather than trying to edit it.

Feature	What you can do	Status
Assign reps to a ladder	Put a whole group of people on one ladder in a single action	✅
Assignment conflicts	When a rep is already on another plan, Paydai tells you before it changes anything	✅
The ladder detail page	One ladder, its bands, and every rep currently on it	✅
