SportsNow offers you the possibility to calculate the wages of your team members directly in SportsNow. You can choose whether you want to calculate hourly or monthly wages. You can also specify whether the team member also receives a bonus and how this is calculated.


Good to know

  • Hourly wage: The team member receives a fixed amount per class held. Optionally, a bonus can be paid based on the number of participants. You can find an example below.
  • Monthly wage: The team member receives a fixed monthly wage, regardless of the number of classes held. Optionally, a bonus can be set in the form of a share of the pass price (price/credit).
  • If the salary of a team member consists only of the share of the pass, i.e. the number of credits used for the classes held, the salary type «Monthly wage» is selected and an amount of CHF 0 is entered under «Salary (CHF)». An example of this can be found at the end of this manual.
  • Individual payroll: You can find a detailed list of how the wages of an individual team member are made up by going to «Valuable statistics» - «Staff salaries» and clicking on «Action» - «View details » to see a list of all the classes held by the team member.

Example hourly wages with a bonus

  • A Group Fitness instructor works on an hourly wage and receives an additional bonus if more participants attend the lesson.
  • Hourly wage: The normal hourly wage is CHF 55.
  • Bonus graded according to the number of members: The better the class is attended, the more salary the instructor receives. The following levels are defined: 
    • From 11 participants, the instructor receives CHF 60 per class.
    • From 18 participants, she receives CHF 65 per class.
  • SportsNow automatically includes the number of participants in the salary calculation and thus shows the salary.


Example monthly wages with bonus
  • A personal trainer works on commission and receives a share of the pass price as salary.
  • Monthly salary: CHF 0, because he only receives salary when he gives personal trainings.
  • Bonus system with commission on the pass (price / credit): 100%, therefore if a member books a personal training, the personal trainer receives as a wage the value of a credit from the used pass of the member.

    Example: If the pass costs CHF 500 and has a credit of 10, the personal trainer receives 100% of CHF 500/ 10 credit, which equals CHF 50. 

  • If the personal trainer should not receive the full value of the credit, the entry in the bonus system can be adjusted to the desired share (e.g. 50%). This means that the trainer will now receive 50% of the value of the credit as a salary. In the above example, this would be 50% of CHF 500/ 10 credit, which corresponds to CHF 25.
