💼 How Group ProPay Is Calculated in Protiv
The Group ProPay feature consolidates ProPays for smaller jobs, ensuring fair and efficient bonus distribution. Below is an explanation of how Group ProPay differs from ProPays that are not grouped.
📊 Non-Grouped ProPay
In a non-grouped setup, each ProPay is calculated individually based on the hours worked for each task or project. Bonuses are distributed separately for each ProPay.
Example:
👷 Worker Data and Hours Worked
| Workers | Hourly Rate | ProPay 1 (Hrs) | ProPay 2 (Hrs) | ProPay 3 (Hrs) | Total Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John | $20 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 8 |
| Sam | $20 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 6 |
| Eric | $20 | 1 | 1 | 7 | 9 |
| Total | 6 | 3 | 14 | 21 |
💰 ProPay Budget, Actuals, and Variance
| ProPays | Budget | Actuals | Variance | Bonus Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProPay 1 | $200.00 | $180.00 | $20.00 | $2.22 |
| ProPay 2 | $100.00 | $120.00 | -$20.00 | -$3.33 |
| ProPay 3 | $400.00 | $120.00 | $280.00 | $46.67 |
| Total | $700.00 | $420.00 | $280.00 |
🏆 Bonuses Earned by Workers
| Workers | ProPay 1 | ProPay 2 | ProPay 3 | Total Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| John | $6.67 | -$3.33 | $186.67 | $190.00 |
| Sam | $8.89 | -$3.33 | $46.67 | $52.22 |
| Eric | $4.44 | -$13.33 | $46.67 | $37.78 |
| Total | $20.00 | -20.00 | $280.00 | $280.00 |
⚠️ Challenges of Non-Grouped ProPay:
- Variances in individual ProPays lead to fluctuating bonuses.
- Increased complexity in tracking and managing bonuses across multiple projects.
✅ Grouped ProPay
With the Group ProPay feature, hours from all ProPays are pooled together, creating a unified calculation for the bonus distribution. This simplifies the process and ensures consistency.
Example:
📊 Overall Data
| Budget | Actuals | Variance | Total Hours | Bonus Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $700.00 | $420.00 | $280.00 | 21 | $13.33 |
🏆 Bonus Distribution
| Workers | Hours Worked | Bonus Earned |
|---|---|---|
| John | 8 | $106.67 |
| Sam | 6 | $80.00 |
| Eric | 7 | $93.33 |
| Total | 21 | $280.00 |
💡 ProPay Breakdown

|---|---|
| ProPay 1 | $120.00 |
| ProPay 2 | $80.00 |

🎯 Advantages of Group ProPay:
- Fairness: Workers are rewarded based on their total contribution to all grouped ProPays.
