How do I setup payroll zap from Jobber that can handle variable rates?

Thanks Sam, the problem with using “Job Complete” as the trigger is that these are recurring jobs. So, unless it’s just a one off job or the person cancels service, we are never completing the job...just the visit. 

It’s also not tax rates that I need to set up but rather flat fees to pay my contractors. The amount varist from job to job so I would have to set them up manually somewhere. The lookup table you mention might work.

For example, we clean home A and the client is charged $100. $50 goes to the business and $50 needs to go to the contractor for their portion (this is what I consider doing payroll)

I currently have to go into each job/visit for the week I’m paying and create an expense in Jobber for each of the contractors so they can get paid their $50...super time consuming.  

The caveat is that just because Home A is a 50/50 split between contractors and the business, that is not always the case. Home B could cost $100 but the business only get’s $40 for that one and the sub $60. I’ll take that “loss” to make the price lower when quoting to get that new customer. 

So, the rate varies from job to job. Also, one client will often have more than one job and sometimes more than one property. So, we can’t pay out the contractors at the client level, it has to AT LEAST be at the job level...but preferably at a visit level since the contractors are paid per visit. 

Hope that makes sense.

Ex: Home B is cleaned on 11/23 and every two weeks. And customer is charged $100 each visit.  Subcontractor 1 will start the timer in Jobber (just so I know they are there) and mark the visit complete in jobber when done.

Jobber then automates the invoice and automates payment IF the customer has a card on file.  About a week later, I go into the calendar in jobber for Subcontractor 1 for each of the homes they cleaned that week and pay them variable set amounts for the jobs they completed. 

The good thing is that it’s usually the same person for that job every two weeks. If someone had to fill in, I could remember that and manually adjust. 

But I need some way to automate pay for that week. I would still review it and make any adjustments necessary but at least I wouldn't have to go into each visit for each of my 7 subcontractors and put an “Expense” into jobber to get what they are owed. 

Unfortunately, jobber doesnt bring over much into Zapier. So we will likely need another program...quickbooks maybe...or something even easier in order to get payroll automated.
