Why salons struggle with payroll
Variable hours, tips/commissions, multiple rates, weekend premiums, vacation/holiday rules, and cross-border teams make spreadsheets brittle.
Schedulaa’s beauty-focused flow
Approved shifts bring regular/OT/holiday hours, breaks, and paid vs unpaid leave. Tips, commissions, and bonuses are first-class taxable earnings. Shift premium is its own field. Non-taxable reimbursements stay out of gross.
Canada (ex-Québec)
Vacation %, stat holiday pay, CPP/EI (with exemptions), BPA, T4 boxes 14/16/18/22/24/26/40/44, ROE exports.
United States
Federal + state tax, FICA, SUI/SUTA, W-2 exports. Local/city taxes not automated (rare in most salons).
Example and next steps
Stylists in Toronto and Miami can be paid from one pipeline: shifts → tips/commission/premiums → CPP/EI or FICA → payslip → T4/W-2.
