o_OKak Staff Commission

Paying a team by percentage often means rebuilding the month by hand: which appointments finished, which rate applied, whether tax is included, and whose setup is missing. Staff Commission Lite turns completed Amelia appointments into a monthly compensation report. Set one dated percentage per provider, choose full price or price excluding tax, and Lite shows work, revenue, compensation, and Ready, Partial, or Pending coverage. It is fully functional, free and unlimited. Start in three steps: keep Amelia active, install Staff Commission, save provider rates under Team, then choose a month under Compensation. Staff Commission uses approved Amelia bookings after the appointment ends. It stores settings and protected history in separate o_OKak tables, never writes compensation back to Amelia, and sends no telemetry or license checks. Pro is a separate manual installation for businesses needing overrides, monthly tiers, drilldown, Analytics, exports and statements. Lite never downloads or unlocks Pro. Amelia is required as the booking source. o_OKak Staff Commission is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amelia or its publisher. What Lite includes

• Monthly provider compensation totals.
• Provider default percentage rules.
• Full-price or price-excluding-tax compensation basis.
• Effective-dated rate history so later changes do not rewrite earlier work.
• Protected historical Amelia source facts for completed procedures.
• Multi-location reporting and filtering when Amelia records appointment locations.
• Exact financial arithmetic and fail-closed handling when required source or tax facts are unresolved.
• Fixed Lite package-discount handling: the business absorbs package discounts when Lite calculates compensation.
• Current-month calculation coverage and clear Ready, Partial and Pending states.

Lite and Pro Lite contains only the free product runtime. Commercial licensing and Pro-only calculation, configuration, Analytics, export and statement code are not included in the WordPress.org package. Staff Commission Pro is distributed separately by o_OKak and replaces the same o-okak-staff-commission plugin directory in place. Lite and Pro use the same plugin directory and preserve Staff Commission data when one replaces the other. Lite calculates only its free provider-default rule model; Pro-only rule semantics are implemented only in the separately distributed Pro package. Pro adds:

• Procedure-level calculation audit and explanations.
• Location, category, category-plus-location and service compensation overrides.
• Monthly turnover rate tiers.
• Effective-dated inherited package-discount policies.
• Analytics and period comparison.
• CSV export.
• Printable provider statements.
• Salon Retained reporting.

Lite has no trial timer, usage quota or expiring free period. Lite never downloads, installs or updates to Pro. Pro must be obtained separately from o_OKak and manually installed by a WordPress administrator. Privacy The WordPress.org Lite package does not send usage analytics, telemetry or license checks to o_OKak. Links to documentation or Pro plans open o-0kak.com only after an administrator chooses them. Amelia dependency Staff Commission requires an active Amelia installation because Amelia supplies the appointments, providers, services and related source data used for compensation. The WordPress plugin dependency slug is ameliabooking. Amelia's free and commercial packages use the ameliabooking plugin directory. Amelia is a third-party product. o_OKak Staff Commission is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amelia or its publisher.

1. Install and activate Amelia if it is not already installed.
2. Install and activate o_OKak Staff Commission.
3. Open o_OKak Staff Commission > Team.
4. Choose a team member, enter the percentage, select whether it is calculated from the full price or the price excluding tax, and choose the first day the rate applies.
5. When a rate changes, save the new rate from its first day. Staff Commission keeps the earlier version in Rate history automatically.
6. Repeat for team members whose completed work needs compensation coverage.
7. Open o_OKak Staff Commission > Compensation and choose a month to review the calculation.

If Lite replaces an existing Pro installation, Staff Commission data remains stored, but Lite does not interpret Pro-only rule or package-policy semantics. Reinstall Pro to review periods that depend on Pro-only configuration. Always validate compensation settings against your own provider agreements, tax treatment and operating process before relying on a report operationally.

1.0.12

• For completed Amelia bookings before a provider's first saved default-rate start date, use that earliest known default percentage and full-price or price-excluding-tax basis as a clearly identified historical assumption.
• Keep saved effective dates, later rate versions, intentional gaps, protected Amelia snapshots and existing calculations on or after the first saved rate unchanged.
• Explain this assumption in Team rate history so businesses can add a confirmed older rate if they know one.
• Does not add Pro-only overrides, premium licensing, analytics, billing, remote telemetry or migrations.

1.0.11

• Rewrites the directory introduction around the monthly staff-compensation problem, the free Lite workflow and a three-step start.
• Clarifies the Amelia dependency, independent product status and separately installed Pro boundary within the first 200 words.
• Makes the real Overview and Compensation screenshot captions explain the monthly workflow.
• Keeps the focused five-tag set after checking WordPress.org tag relevance; no runtime or calculation behavior changes.

1.0.10

• Adds a regression fixture for real provider history, automatic version boundaries and valid MySQL identifiers.

• Declares the bundled Manrope font copyright, SIL OFL 1.1 license and upstream source.

• Moves administrator-initiated documentation and pricing links to the Lite admin namespace; no commercial runtime is included.

• Keeps the complete Lite provider-default calculation, effective-dated history, source protection and location reporting behavior unchanged.

1.0.5

• Removes Pro-only compensation-rule and package-policy calculation code from the WordPress.org Lite package instead of gating it.
