# How do I manage trainer and staff rates?
## Set and keep track of your employee’s payroll.
The trainer/staff member rate function allows you to keep track of your employee's payroll. A trainer/staff member's rate can be added according to a class and PT sessions. Furthermore, a rate can be broken down according to how many members attend each class.
Once you have created a new account for your staff member, you can set up their rates. Ensure that you have selected the appropriate facility if you are managing more than one gym.
1. **Menu Bar \> Staff**
2. Click on the menu icon to the right staff members name \> **View/Edit**
3. Select **Rates** \> Decide if you want to set up the Class Rates or the Session Rates
4. \> Add Flat Rate \> Insert a fixed amount that trainer would earn per class \> Submit
5. **Or** Add a Member Based Rate \> Add Rate + Select min & max amount category for the designated amount \> Submit
6. Repeat for step 5 for different rates for members per class.
*You can then view the* **Trainer Report** *to keep track of your employee's payroll or classes coached.*
*Staff Rates Flat Rate:*
*Staff Rates Member Based Rate:*
***Class Rate:*** *This rate is calculated based on the assigned coach for each class under scheduling.*
***Session Rates:*** *This rate is calculated from the independent session rate.*
***Note***: *A "Flat Rate" for either "Sessions" or "Classes" charges a standard rate for either irrespective of how many members attend a class. Selecting a "Member-Based Rate" for either "PT Sessions" or "Classes" charges a rate according to how many members are in a class.*
