FECForge prepares venue-specific payroll inputs. It does not replace the payroll provider; finalize each report only after the numbers have been reviewed against the source records.

Employee deductions

  1. Find the employee

    Start typing a name to narrow the shared employee list.

  2. Add each purchase or deduction

    Use a configured quick-add for common items such as employee shirts, or enter a custom description and amount.

  3. Review the employee total

    Multiple entries are tallied together. Expand the employee row to see the individual items behind the payroll deduction.

Party host tips

  1. Choose the verification method

    In Settings, specify whether the venue uses handwritten host entries, register-only totals, or both.

  2. Enter host tip lines

    Search for each host and add the tip amount from the manager sheet. Party names and party dates are not required.

  3. Enter register totals

    On reconciliation, enter the POS total for each host plus the Other Host or Misc amount used as a catch-all.

  4. Apply card-fee handling if allowed

    Enable the optional card-fee deduction and enter the venue percentage only after confirming the rule is permitted for the venue. The report calculates the payable amount for each host.

  5. Finalize with a documented variance

    Written and register totals do not have to match. Review the difference, record the reason when known, and finalize the report.

Sales commissions

  1. Set the earning date rule

    Choose whether commissions follow report upload date, event date, or the venue’s configured method.

  2. Import the sales report

    Map the spreadsheet fields and review the preview before saving events.

  3. Resolve possible duplicates

    Use the duplicate review to exclude repeated events or explicitly keep a valid duplicate that should count.
