Overview
Payee schedules can help you save time and extra steps with commission processing by simplifying payee setup. If your agency splits commissions with an agent or agents the same way for all or a majority of the policies written, payee schedules may work for your agency. If your agency has complex payout scenarios, you may consider setting payees uniquely for each policy.

Creating a payee schedule
You can create and manage payee schedules from the Commission > Settings > Payee Schedules page.
To create a new payee schedule
- Select Actions > Create New.
- Name the payee schedule and add a description.
- You may name a payee schedule whatever you want, but make sure it’s easy to choose from a dropdown list. Since each payee schedule is agent-specific, a common naming convention uses the “writing” agent's name.
- Make sure the payee schedule is set to “Active”.
- Only active payee schedules appear in dropdown lists. You may choose to inactivate the payee schedule if you’re still setting it up or you don’t want others to use it right away or you want to stop its use.
- Save.
