What's a ProPay?

Let’s break down the basics of what a ProPay is and how it powers your incentive program in Protiv.

1. What is a ProPay?

At its core, a ProPay is just a job with a labor budget.

• If the crew finishes the job under budget, the leftover dollars turn into a bonus.
• That bonus gets split with the people who worked the job—crew leads, workers, or both.

But here’s the catch: only the people who clocked time on the job are eligible to earn. If you didn’t work it, you don’t get a cut.

2. You approve every bonus

Bonuses aren’t automatic.

• You review and approve every ProPay before bonuses are paid.
• That means nothing is final until you give it the green light.
• No auto-payouts. You stay in control.

3. Who gets access to ProPays?

You decide who’s included in the incentive program.

For larger companies, this can roll out in phases:

• Branch → Think of this as each location or region
• Division → Departments or specialties (like Maintenance vs. Enhancements)
• Routes or Crew Leads → Granular control by team

You choose which teams or roles are eligible and when they start seeing bonuses in Protiv.

4. What comes next?

This is just the foundation.

We’ll cover more in other articles and videos:

• How bonuses get split across a crew
• What happens when a job goes over budget
• The different types of ProPays you can use
• How to handle callbacks and adjustments

But it all starts here—with understanding what a ProPay is and how it works.
