The team had a pattern: every payroll cycle came with arguments. Reps opened their paychecks only to find numbers that didn’t match their expectations. Managers spent hours justifying the math, and payroll deadlines slipped as disputes dragged on. What should have been a celebration of earnings became a source of stress and mistrust.

With Commission Strata, commissions are visible before payroll hits. Reps and managers see the same numbers in real time and sign off early. If something looks off, it’s fixed right away, no waiting until payday. This upfront clarity removes the shock factor and keeps both sides aligned.

When commissions are agreed on in advance, payday feels different. Reps open checks they already trust, managers focus on coaching instead of conflict, and payroll runs without delays. The result: a team that sells harder, trusts management more, and gets paid without the drama.
