How to create a per hour pay rate for an instructor

Enter a name for this rate. Remember, an instructor can have multiple pay rates, so if that's the case, we'd recommend making the name as descriptive as possible.

In this example, we're going to be setting up a pay rate type whereby the instructor earns a certain amount per hour, so select the "Per Hour" field. In the "Rate" field, enter the instructor's hourly rate. If this rate applies to sessions that are less or more than an hour long, the system will automatically prorate the rate based on the duration.

Under 'Event Types', below each venue, select the classes, appointments, or courses that apply. Note that only events with past or future time slots taking place at the venue will appear here.

If an event is already linked to an active pay rate, this will be flagged via a tooltip, as seen below.

If you wish, you can override the existing rate by clicking "Override Existing Rate".

To proceed with the override, click 'Override'. Please note that once you click 'Override', the change takes effect immediately, i.e., that event will no longer be tied to the previous rate.

The 'Advanced Settings' allow you to set a rate cap per event. For example, if you set a cap of £30 per session, that is the maximum amount the instructor will get for that session, regardless of the duration of the session.

The 'Base Rate' option allows you to set a minimum rate the instructor should earn if no one attends the class. For example, if no one attends a Yoga class, but you have a base rate of £3, the instructor will earn £3 for that session.
