Lynqpod › Pay and commission
MoneyAssociate pay, computed rather than assembled
Month-end in most practices is a person, a spreadsheet and a long evening. The inputs are all in the practice management system already. Lynqpod applies the terms you agreed and shows its working, so a query takes minutes.
What goes into a payslip
- Private income taken in the period, allocated to the clinician who did the work.
- Plan income, where the practice splits plan fees.
- Lab and material charges, matched by treatment, with the share the clinician carries.
- Non-commissionable items stripped out before commission is worked out, such as tests and wellness services.
- Adjustments, uplifts and downlifts, transfers between clinicians, and one-offs, each recorded with who added it and why.
- The commission rate that applies to that clinician for that period.
Why every total opens
A payslip nobody can question is a payslip nobody trusts. Every figure opens to the appointments and payments behind it, in the order they happened, so "why is this month lower?" is answered on screen rather than by rebuilding the calculation.
Terms written down once
Commission rates, retention, plan fee rates, charges and adjustments are settings, not formulas buried in a spreadsheet. They are versioned, so a payslip issued in March still shows the terms that applied in March even after the rate changes in April.
Publishing
Each clinician gets their payslip by email, and a reply comes back to the practice rather than disappearing. Publishing is deliberate, it is recorded, and nothing goes out while the practice is still checking.
What it does not do. Lynqpod is not a payroll bureau: it does not run PAYE, make payments or file anything with HMRC. It produces the figures those processes need, for self-employed associates and for the practice's own records.
Common questions
Can it match the way we already pay people?
That is the test we suggest: run a month you have already paid and compare. Differences are usually a rule nobody had written down, which is worth finding either way.
What about clinicians on different terms?
Rates, splits and charges are per clinician and per period, because in practice everybody has their own arrangement.
Who can see the numbers?
Access is by role. A clinician sees their own; practice managers and owners see everybody; reception staff see none of it.

See it on your own numbers
The quickest way to judge Lynqpod is to point it at a month you already know. Read-only to start: nothing is written back to your practice management system until you ask for it.
