The problem

Your variable pay plan isn't the problem. Managing it in spreadsheets is.

As teams grow, compensation gets complicated. Different roles. Different rates. Tier changes. Splits. Overrides. Bonuses. Adjustments. Clawbacks.

Sequifi turns those rules into an automated compensation system, without rebuilding a spreadsheet every pay period.

Every pay period, by hand

AB
4Closer, tier 3=IF(G4>25,0.09,0.07)*E4
5Setter split=E4*0.35-VLOOKUP(…)
6Manager override=SUMIF(team,B7,payout)*0.02
7Clawback, cancelled=-1*INDEX(prior!D:D,…)
8Bonus, Q3 spiff=IFERROR(#REF!,0)

Rebuilt, re-checked and re-reconciled every cycle.

Manager override$312.40
Clawback, cancelled−$540.00

Applied automatically, the same way, every cycle.

How it works

From performance to payday. One connected flow.

Sequifi applies your compensation rules automatically as the underlying data changes. Admins review the calculation, approve pay, and move directly into payroll, while reps can see what they earned and why.

Complex compensation

Your comp plan can be complicated. Your software should understand it.

Plans stay as flexible as they need to be, without forcing your back office to hand-calculate every exception.

Rep visibility

Give reps the answer before they have to ask.

Reps see pending pay for the current period broken into commissions, overrides and adjustments, so they understand their number before payday instead of asking the back office to check it.

Earnings as deals land

Not a number that appears two weeks later.

Commissions and overrides, separated

Each category shown on its own, not as one lump sum.

Adjustments in the open

Corrections are visible rather than an unexplained difference.

Fewer pay disputes

Far fewer “can you check my pay?” messages to your back office.

Room to grow

New roles, new markets, new plans. The math keeps up.

Add a position, change a tier or open a new region, and the new rules apply from the next deal. Nothing to rebuild at the end of the period.

What makes it different

Most commission software stops at the calculation. Sequifi doesn't.

Pay

Straight into payroll

The commission your team calculates shouldn't need to be exported, reconciled and rebuilt inside another payroll system. Sequifi connects commission calculation and payroll in one workflow, alongside the HR, onboarding and documents that sit around it.

The difference

Three ways to run commissions. Only one of them keeps up.

Why teams switch

Pay day, without the pay day scramble.

Commissions are already calculated and checked when the period closes, so the person who runs pay reviews and approves instead of rebuilding. And when every rep can see what they earned, the second-guessing stops.

  • No more “can you check my pay?” messages
  • Approve the period instead of rebuilding it
  • Fewer disputes, faster payroll

FAQ

Variable compensation questions

What is variable compensation software?

Variable compensation software calculates and manages the part of pay that changes with performance: commissions, bonuses, spiffs, tiers, splits, overrides, adjustments and clawbacks. The rules of each pay plan live in the system and run the same way every period, instead of being rebuilt in a spreadsheet. Sequifi also carries approved variable pay straight into payroll, so the number a rep earns is the number they are paid.

Is variable compensation software the same as incentive compensation management (ICM)?

They describe the same job. Incentive compensation management, sales compensation software and variable pay software are all names for tools that turn a pay plan into automated, auditable payouts. Sequifi is built for commission-driven teams, such as solar, roofing, mortgage, fiber and home services, where nearly every paycheck is different.

What kinds of variable pay plans can Sequifi handle?

Tiered and accelerated rates, setter and closer splits, manager and team overrides, milestone payouts, bonuses and spiffs, draws, adjustments and clawbacks on cancelled business. Plans can differ by role, team, office and location, for W-2 and 1099 workers together.

How is Sequifi different from other variable compensation tools?

Most variable compensation tools stop at the calculation and export a file for payroll. Sequifi calculates, routes the period for approval and pays it through built-in payroll, alongside the HR, onboarding and documents around it, so there is no export and re-entry between systems.

Can reps see their variable pay before payday?

Yes. Reps see pending pay for the current period, broken into commissions, overrides and adjustments, with the rule behind each line. That visibility is what cuts the "can you check my pay?" messages to the back office.

How long does it take to set up?

It depends on how many plans and roles you run. In a demo we walk through your actual pay plan and show how it would be configured, so you can judge the fit before committing.

Your variable comp plan can be complicated. Running it shouldn't be.
