Payroll for retail

Avos calculates retail payroll with commissions: enter the month's commissions and income tax and social contributions are recalculated on the total, with an itemized payslip emailed to each salesperson. Every store or legal entity has its own payroll in the same account (multi-company), with departments and cost reports per store, and seasonal hires are onboarded in minutes and offboarded with severance, proportional vacation and bonuses calculated automatically.

Payroll for retail, solved

Commission that changes the salary every month, weekend and holiday schedules, year-end peaks with seasonal hires. Retail payroll is alive, and it needs a system that keeps pace with the store.

Commission changes everything, every month

A commissioned salesperson never has two identical payslips. Commission enters the base for income tax, social contributions, vacation and bonuses, and every manual recalculation is a chance to pay wrong.

Enter the month's commissions and Avos recalculates the whole payroll: charges on the total, correct knock-on effects and an itemized payslip emailed to each salesperson.

Several stores, several legal entities

Head office and branches, sometimes a separate entity per store or per country. Consolidating all of that across separate spreadsheets costs the finance team days and hides the real cost of each location.

With Avos multi-company, each entity has its own payroll in the same account. Inside each store, departments (sales, stock, checkout) and cost-per-department reports show the weight of each team on the result.

Seasonal hires for the peak

Black Friday and the holidays double the headcount for two or three months. Hiring fast, calculating proportional pay and terminating correctly at the end of the season is work a spreadsheet cannot handle.

Onboarding in minutes and, on termination, automatic calculation of severance, proportional vacation and any year-end bonus the country requires. The audit trail keeps the history of each seasonal contract documented.

Frequently asked questions

Does the system calculate charges on commissions?

Yes. Commissions entered in the month automatically enter the base for income tax and social contributions, and the effect appears itemized on the salesperson's payslip.

I have five stores. Can I see each store's payroll separately?

Yes. If the stores are separate legal entities, each lives as a separate company in the same account (multi-company). If they are branches of the same entity, you separate them by department and compare each store's cost in the reports.

How does payroll work for seasonal hires?

Same as for permanent staff: fast onboarding, proportional payroll from the first month and, when the contract ends, severance and proportional amounts calculated automatically under the country's rules.
