It is payday Friday in Metro Detroit and your top performer is standing in your office. They found out a newer hire makes almost the same, the bonus they were promised last quarter was never written down, and you are doing commission math on a calculator while they wait.
With a designed pay plan, every role has a clear base, a clear incentive and a written rule for how it is earned, tracked and paid. The plan pays for the things you actually want more of, like completed jobs, happy customers and good margins, and it fits what the business can afford.
Paydays get quiet. People can figure out their own check before it lands, your best people see a path to earn more, and the pay plan pushes the team toward the same goals you are chasing.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
There is one carpenter for about every 7,331 residents of Metro Detroit. The ones that grow are the ones that hire and keep good people.

Fix this in Metro DetroitWe review your current pay, margins, roles and what you want to reward.
We build a plan for each role with a base, an incentive and clear rules.
We run the plan against past months to check what people would earn and what it would cost you.
We help you explain it to your team, set up tracking and review it each quarter.
What we report every month: Pay as a share of revenue by role, Incentive payouts against results, Pay questions and disputes, and Turnover among top performers.
Start with the result you want more of, then decide how it is measured, how often it is paid and what limits apply. Keep the rules simple enough that anyone can figure out their own check. A plan nobody understands does not change behavior.
The fee depends on how many roles need plans, how complex the incentives are and how much testing you want against past data. A single role with a simple bonus is quick. Several roles with commissions, production pay and spiffs take more design and testing.
Straight hourly is simple but does not reward extra effort. Straight commission rewards output but can push people to cut corners. Most businesses land on a base plus an incentive tied to the results they care about, like jobs completed, customer satisfaction or margin.
A spiff is a small, quick reward for a specific action, like selling a membership or booking a follow-up. Spiffs work best short term and for a clear target. Too many spiffs at once turn into noise and expected pay.
Change pay carefully. Show each person what they would have earned under the new plan, explain why, and give a clear start date. Some owners run both plans side by side for a short time so nobody feels blindsided.
Flexible, but every deal is different and people notice.
Fast, but their margins, roles and goals are not yours.
We design plans for each role, test them against your numbers and help you roll them out.
