How it works.
Two products, one flow. Commissions does the math on every job. Pay Packs shows each tech the math behind their check.
Your pay plans, built in exactly as written.
Share your pay plan documents, offer letters, and spiff sheets. Our engineers build your pay engine from them, then Volca pulls jobs and hours from the systems you already run every pay period.
Your pay engine
Built from your plans
- Commissions and splits
- Spiffs and bonuses
- Gross-margin tiers
- Hourly and overtime
Checked against a real pay period
Commissions pays every job right and catches errors first.
Every commission, spiff, split, bonus, and overtime hour is figured job by job against each tech's plan. Anything off, like a missing helper split or a spiff counted twice, gets flagged before payroll runs, so overpayments stop going out quietly.
Commissions
Pay run · Week of Oct 20
184 of 186 checks match your rules
Payroll gets numbers you already approved.
Your team reviews a few exceptions instead of every check, and approves the run. Volca sends the file to your payroll provider, posts labor back to every job in your CRM, and codes payroll costs in your accounting system.

Pay Packs shows every tech what each job paid them.
Each field employee gets an itemized Pay Pack by text and email before payroll runs. If a line looks wrong, they dispute that line, and it lands with your back office with the exact job and amount called out.

FAQs
Don't see your question? Talk to us and we'll walk through anything specific to your shops.
Does Volca replace my payroll provider?
No. Your payroll provider still cuts the checks and files taxes. Volca does the work before that step: it calculates what each employee earned, catches errors, collects approvals, and hands your provider a clean file.
Is Volca the employer of record?
No. Your company stays the employer and remains legally responsible for pay. Volca calculates and documents pay based on your plans and your approvals.
How does onboarding work?
You walk us through how you run payroll today, or record a session, and share your pay plan documents, offer letters, and spiff sheets. Our engineers build your engine from that and run it against a real pay period, so you can check Volca's numbers against your own before you rely on them.
What is a Pay Pack?
A personal pay report each employee gets before payroll runs. It breaks their check down job by job: hourly, overtime, commissions, spiffs, and gross margin, so every dollar is explained.
How do pay disputes work?
Every employee gets a Pay Pack that breaks their check down job by job. If a line looks wrong, they dispute that line before payroll runs. The dispute lands in a ticketing queue for your back office with the exact job and amount called out, so nobody has to hunt for it.
Can I see what my techs' Pay Pack would look like?
Yes. Send us a real pay period and we'll mock the report your employees would see, with your pay plan, your KPIs, and your branding.
