Pay Your Crews Right, Every Time
Stop calculating payroll by hand. Elromco handles every commission type, tip split, and bonus automatically.
Auto-Calculate on Completion
The moment a job is marked complete, payroll is auto-generated for every crew member. Hourly pay, commissions, bonuses, and tips — all calculated instantly.
Flexible Commission Types
8 different compensation types cover every scenario: hourly rates, per-job bonuses, packing commissions, percentage of total, daily rates, and more. Mix and match per employee.
Branch-Specific Rates
Employees working across multiple locations can have different pay rates per branch. Each branch configures its own commission structure independently.
3-Level Accounting View
Drill from department totals to individual employees to specific job details. See hours worked, commissions earned, tips collected, and outstanding balances at every level.
From Job Completion to Payday
Four steps from job completion to crew payment — fully calculated and ready for review.
Configure Commissions
Set up each employee's compensation: hourly rate, bonuses, commission percentages. Assign different rates per branch and schedule future raises.
Jobs Complete
When crew finishes a job and it's marked COMPLETED, the system automatically pulls hours, totals, packing charges, and tips from the closing.
Payroll Calculates
Every crew member's pay is computed: hourly multiplied by hours worked, percentage commissions on packing, services, and total, per-job bonuses, and evenly split tips.
Review & Pay
View the full breakdown in the accounting drill-down. Track what's owed vs. what's been paid out (cash or check) for every employee.
Built for Moving Companies, Not Generic Payroll
Payroll isn't a bolt-on in Elromco. It's deeply connected to your jobs, crews, and accounting — built for how moving companies actually pay their people.
Zero Manual Entry
Other systems require you to manually calculate hours and commissions per job. Elromco does it automatically the instant a job completes — no spreadsheets, no calculators.
Position-Aware Pay
The system knows that foremen get packing commissions, helpers have different hourly rates, and sales staff earn percentage commissions. Pay rules are enforced automatically based on crew role.
Future Rate Scheduling
Schedule a raise to take effect on a specific date. The system automatically updates the rate at midnight — no calendar reminders, no manual changes, no missed updates.
Full Audit Trail
Every compensation line item is tracked: what was calculated, from which source (estimated vs. actual), at what rate. Complete transparency for both you and your employees.
Common Payroll Questions
Why Moving Companies Need Purpose-Built Payroll
Generic payroll platforms like ADP or Gusto are designed for salaried employees with fixed schedules. Moving companies operate differently. Crews work variable hours, compensation mixes hourly pay with per-job commissions, tips are split on the spot, and the same employee might work at two branches with different rate structures. Spreadsheets and generic tools break down under this complexity.
Elromco's payroll module is built specifically for this reality. It supports eight distinct compensation types: hourly rates, flat per-job fees, percentage-of-revenue commissions, packing commissions, labor commissions, overtime multipliers, tip splits, and manual bonuses. Each type can be configured per employee, per position, and per branch — so your foreman in Boston can earn a different hourly rate and commission percentage than your foreman in Miami.
The automation starts the moment a job is marked COMPLETED in the system. Elromco reads the closing tab — actual hours worked, revenue collected, packing charges, labor charges — and generates a payroll breakdown for every crew member on that job. No dispatcher or office manager needs to touch a calculator. The numbers flow directly from operational data, eliminating transcription errors that plague manual processes.
For owners and accountants, the three-level accounting view provides full visibility. The company level shows total payroll liability across all branches. The branch level breaks it down by location. The employee level shows every job, every line item, and every payment — with a running balance of what has been earned versus what has been disbursed.
Elromco does not handle tax withholding, W-2 generation, or direct deposit — those responsibilities stay with your dedicated payroll processor. What Elromco does is produce the accurate gross-pay numbers your payroll processor needs, derived from real job data instead of manual timesheets. The result is faster payroll cycles, fewer disputes with crews, and complete confidence that every dollar is accounted for.
