Teachworks supports a variety of teacher wage methods including setting an hourly wage on the teacher's profile or setting an hourly wage based on the service type of a lesson.
An additional option is to set up wage tiers. Wage tiers allow you to pay teachers based on the service type of a lesson, but the tiers also allow you to pay teachers at a different hourly rate for the same service type.
Example
You could create wage tiers for teachers based on their years of experience. Teachers with less than a year of experience would be included in the "Default" tier. You would then add tiers for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, etc. of experience. You would then assign a wage for the new tiers for each service in your Service List, allowing you to pay teachers at different hourly wages for the same type of service.
Enabling Wage Tiers

After you've enabled wage tiers, you can add a new wage tier by following these steps:

Importing Wage Tiers
We have a limited access feature that will allow you to update your existing wage tiers in bulk using an Excel spreadsheet. If you would like this feature enabled in your account, please send an email to support@teachworks.com. Please note, this feature can only be used to update existing wage tiers, it can't be used to create new ones.
