To manage payroll accurately in PushPress Core, two key requirements must be met:
Pay rates must be set in the staff profile for classes/events and in appointment settings for appointments.
Staff must check into classes or appointments within 2 hours of the start time.
Note: Late staff check-ins may take 24-48 hours to reflect correctly in the Payroll Report. Encourage your staff to check into their classes and appointments at the beginning of the session
General Payroll Concepts
Pay Period Flexibility:
You can choose any pay period frequency (e.g., weekly, biweekly, monthly). PushPress does not restrict your schedule.
Payment Methods:
Pay staff using checks, manual bank transfers, or your preferred method.
PushPress does not calculate payroll taxes—use a CPA, Gusto.com, or a similar service for tax calculations.
Variable Pay:
PushPress supports fluctuating pay based on:
Classes types coached.
Personal training sessions completed.
Ideal for managing 1099 contractors. Note: Fixed monthly salaries (W2 employees) typically don’t require this system.
Personal Training Payment Options:
Pay when the session is scheduled and completed.
Choose the method (flat rate or percentage) that aligns with your payroll rules.
Multi-Staff Payments:
Pay multiple staff members for the same class or event.
Useful for workshops, special events, or large-scale gym activities.
How to Pull the Payroll Report

Download Reports:
The Payroll Report offers three separate downloadable files to use with third-party payroll applications:
Summary Report: Provides a total summary of classes, events, and appointments for each staff member.
Appointments Report: Lists the total appointments serviced and payroll amounts for the selected pay period.
Classes & Events Report: Shows total pay for class/event check-ins during the specified pay period.
