Teacher pay worked out from the classes they taught.
Set how each teacher is paid, per class or as a share of what the class earned, and Timeo totals the month from the classes that actually ran.
Paying part time teachers fairly
Many tuition teachers are paid per class or as a share of the fees, and each one has a slightly different deal. At month end someone counts classes from the timetable, checks which ran, and works out the figures by hand.
A share of revenue is the hardest: children pay with packages bought weeks earlier, so the admin has to work out what each seat was worth before anyone can be paid.
How Timeo works out teacher pay
Set a default rule for the centre, then give any teacher their own deal. A rule is either a share of class revenue as a percentage, or a fixed amount per class, and it can require a minimum number of students so a class with too few pays nothing.
The Instructor pay report counts only classes that have finished. Every booked seat counts, including no shows, because the seat was held; cancelled seats do not. Each seat is valued from the package that paid for it, its price divided by its sessions, so a revenue share is based on real money rather than a guess.
The report shows each teacher's classes, students, class revenue, pay and what the centre keeps, with the classes behind every total, and exports to CSV for payroll.
Set up teacher pay
- Make sure you are on the Team plan, which includes instructor pay.
- Assign the teacher as Staff on each class template under Booking setup > Class templates.
- Open Reports > Instructor pay, set the Studio default under Pay rules, and press Add instructor rule for any teacher with a different deal.
- At month end pick the Month and press Export CSV.
What teachers and parents notice
You can show each teacher the list of classes behind their total, with the students and revenue of each, so there is no month end dispute over a missed class.
Parents notice nothing at all, which is the point: pay is worked out from bookings that already exist, with no extra steps for families.
Questions
Can each teacher have a different rate?
Yes. A centre default covers everyone, and Add instructor rule gives one teacher their own share or per class amount.
Can I avoid paying for a class with only one student?
Yes. Set Minimum students on the rule; a class with fewer booked students pays nothing for that rule.
Do no shows count toward revenue?
Yes. A booked seat in a finished class counts even if the child did not come, because the seat and the lesson were used. Cancelled seats do not count.
How is a package lesson valued?
By the package the seat used: its price divided by its number of sessions.
Can I export it for payroll?
Yes. Pick the month and press Export CSV for one row per class.
