Overview
A Guest Charge is a flat dollar amount that is deducted from a worker's earnings for a specific service before payroll compensation is calculated.
Because the deduction occurs prior to compensation calculations, you do not need to build the charge into your compensation method. Inspire automatically deducts the Guest Charge when compensation reports are generated.
How Guest Charges Work
- Guest Charges are assigned at setup services.
- The charge is a flat dollar amount, not a percentage.
- The deduction is automatically applied before compensation is calculated.
- Any worker assigned to the service who earns commission for completing that service will have the Guest Charge applied.
- Guest Charges cannot be customized per worker.
Adding a Guest Charge to a Service
To add a Guest Charge:
- Navigate to Setup.
- Select Setup Services.
- Open the service you would like to update.
- Select View Advanced Options.
- Locate the Guest Charge Amount field.
- Enter the desired flat dollar amount.
- Select Save.

The Guest Charge will now automatically apply to any worker assigned to that service who receives compensation for performing it.
Important Notes- Guest Charges are configured per service, not per worker.
- The same Guest Charge amount will apply to all workers assigned to the service.
- Guest Charges are deducted automatically before compensation calculations are performed.
- No additional payroll setup is required once the Guest Charge has been added to the service.

Important Note: If you remove a Guest Charge from a service, the change will only apply to future services completed after the update. Previously completed and paid services will retain the Guest Charge that was in effect at the time the service was completed and cannot be retroactively adjusted by removing the Guest Charge from the service setup.
