Feature · Commissions

One rate per earning. Cited.

A Commission setup pairs a playing contract with a representation agreement. Relai suggests a rate for every earning from the agreement's own wording. You confirm each row.

No ledger. No payments. A setup records the rates and nothing else.

The setup

Every earning gets its own decision.

A playing contract lists its earnings: the wage, a bonus per appearance, a bonus per goal, a one-off promotion bonus, a signing-on fee. Each row is included at a rate or excluded. Two bonuses in the same category can carry different rates.

Where the rate comes from

The agreement suggests. You confirm.

When a representation agreement is scanned, Relai reads its fee wording and proposes rates for the earnings it names. Every suggestion carries the passage it came from. Wording that settles nothing becomes a flag beside the row, never a guessed percentage.

Suggested from the agreement

3 passages
  • Rate · Representation agreement · cl. 6.1

    “The Agent shall be entitled to a fee of five per cent (5%) of the Player's basic gross salary and appearance and goal bonuses.”
  • Rate · Representation agreement · cl. 6.2

    “A fee of ten per cent (10%) applies to any promotion bonus paid to the Player.”
  • exclusion · Representation agreement · cl. 6.4

    “No fee is payable on the Player's signing-on bonus.”

Every rate cites its passage.

Open the agreement at the clause. A suggestion is evidence, not a decision.

Rate needed

The agreement names salary, appearance, goal and promotion bonuses. It says nothing about a loyalty bonus, so Relai leaves the rate empty for you to decide.

A gap is a flag, not a number.

Banded rates, a missing rate, a different currency or an earning outside the term all show as flags.

Scenarios

Project a season. State every assumption.

A Commission scenario projects commission for a period from a confirmed setup. You state the assumptions: how many appearances, how many goals, whether the promotion bonus triggers. Every line shows its working and a status. Totals stay in one currency.

Frequently asked questions

Does Relai track what has been paid?

No. A Commission setup records which earnings carry a fee and at what rate. It creates no invoices, instalments or payments. It marks nothing as received.

What happens when the playing contract changes?

The setup is marked stale. Relai asks you to review the latest earnings and confirm again. Nothing is recalculated behind your back.

Can I set rates once for the whole agency?

Yes. After you confirm a setup, Relai offers to save the rates as agency defaults, one rule per earning category. Defaults only propose. Each setup is still confirmed by a person.
