💰Advanced payroll reporting

The wait is finally over! Thanks to the coding magic of our summer intern Andy, Swift’s payroll reporting can now track commission or hourly rates for services tied to instructors.

‍

This means no more combing through hours sheets and pressing buttons on a calculator every month before signing off on your payroll.

‍

How does it work? 

‍

Under each staff accounts profile there is a new tab called “Payroll” dedicated to setting Pay Rates.

‍

‍

To add a Pay Rate, select the service (a lesson or class) the instructor teaches and choose between an hourly rate or a commission. You can decide between a flat rate per registrant or a percentage rate for commissions.

‍

‍

Once set up, Pay Rates will be tracked and reported in the Payroll reporting tab. After running the report you will get a line-by-line summary of each service the instructor was assigned to. At the top of the report are summary cards highlighting the total hours worked and ultimately total payroll owed.

‍

To learn more about pay rates, visit our help center.

📦Collect payment when assigning packages 

‍

Packages are one of the most used features within Swift, and now it’s easier than ever to assign them to clients' accounts!

‍

Previously, when you assigned a package to a client's profile you had to create a one-off charge to complete the sale. This was cumbersome, mistake-prone for staff, and made leaving money on the table easy when juggling hundreds of tasks as a facility owner

‍

Now, when you assign a package a new payment module will pop up. This will allow you to complete the sale directly tied to the package (with taxes included if this has been set up). 

‍

‍

Importantly though, you are still able to waive payments on packages! Meaning if you want to give clients a free credit whether it be for a makeup, refund, or promotion, you can create a package to fit your needs and apply credits to their account for no charge by checking the “Waive payment” box. 

‍

‍

Once a package is assigned, you will see the client's available credits in the newly updated “Credits” tab.

‍

🧑‍💻Database update

‍

Just this week Swift underwent maintenance to switch our database provider to Neon, meaning the app is now faster and more reliable than ever!

‍

‍

That might be it for now, but we’re not stopping there 👏🎉

‍

📅 What’s next?

‍

Our team is committed to making Swift a better, faster, and easier experience for you, your staff, and your customers. We still have lots planned to finish out 2024 strong!

‍

Here’s what’s coming soon: 

‍

• Selling merch, inventory, and other pro-shop items
• Push notifications for facilities with the branded mobile app
• And a lot more…
