AI HR Manager: Payroll without the headache.

Payroll, staff commissions, timesheets and attendance, all running off the same system that handles your bookings and sales. Assign a visit and the commission calculates itself.

At a glance

The AI HR Manager handles payroll, staff commissions, timesheets and attendance from the same system that runs your bookings and sales. Assign a visit to a staff member and the commission calculates itself, with no month-end spreadsheet. Hours, leave and bonuses all draw from real data your team already logs, so what you pay matches what was actually worked and sold.

A salon owner reviewing staff commission on a tablet at reception

A commission engine that does the maths for you.

Set a commission rate per staff member or per service, layer in tiers, and reward upsells separately. Then assign a visit to a staff member and the commission calculates itself from the recorded sale. No spreadsheet to rebuild at the end of the month, no manual tallying.

Assign a visit, it calculates itself

The moment a visit is assigned to a staff member, the commission flows from the sale, with no re-keying.

Per staff, per service, with tiers

Set rates by person or service, stack tiers, and reward upsells separately so pay matches how you run.

A staff member clocking in on a device at the salon front desk

Clock in where the work happens, not from the sofa.

Staff clock in and out on the shared store device or from their own login, and Idle logs the hours against their shift. Geo-fencing keeps it honest, so a person can only clock in at the store, never from home and never for a colleague.

Shared device or own login

Clock in on the front-desk device or from each person's own login, whichever suits how your floor runs.

Geo-fenced, so it stays honest

Clock-in only works inside the store, so nobody punches in from home or covers for someone who is late.

Paying your team should not take a weekend.

Excel, rebuilt every month

Payroll and commissions get pieced back together by hand each month, slow to do and easy to get wrong.

Commissions get disputed

When the numbers come off a spreadsheet, staff query them, and you lose time proving who earned what.

No record of who actually worked

Paper punch cards and memory leave no reliable record of who showed up, when, and for how long.

A staff member checking their own commission progress on a tablet

Leave, MC and bonus progress, all kept for you.

Idle keeps each person's leave and MC balances automatically, so nobody has to track them on a wall chart. And every staff member sees their own commission and exactly how close they are to their next bonus, without ever seeing anyone else's data.

Each person sees their own target

Staff watch their own commission and bonus progress, which keeps them motivated without exposing anyone's pay.

Balances tracked automatically

Leave and MC balances update themselves, so there is never a wall chart or a back-and-forth about days left.

Private by default

Everyone sees only their own numbers, while you keep the full picture across the whole team.

AI HR Manager FAQ

Does Idle calculate staff commission automatically?

Yes. You set a commission rate per staff member or per service, with tiers if you want them, and reward upsells separately. When you assign a visit to a staff member, Idle calculates the commission itself from the sale, so there is no month-end spreadsheet to rebuild.

Can staff clock in and out in Idle?

Yes. Staff clock in and out on the shared store device or from their own login, and Idle logs the hours against their shift. Geo-fencing makes sure a person can only clock in at the store, so nobody clocks in from home or for a colleague.

Does the AI HR Manager use my booking and sales data?

Yes. Payroll, commissions, timesheets and attendance all run off the same system that handles your bookings and checkout. Assign a visit to a staff member and the commission flows straight from the recorded sale, so what you pay always matches what was actually sold and worked.

Can each person see only their own numbers?

Yes. Every staff member sees their own commission and how close they are to their next bonus, plus their own leave and MC balances, without seeing anyone else's pay or data. You keep the full picture across the team.
