Customizing the Commissions Tab

This article explains how to customize the Commissions tab on a placement record to match your company's workflow.

Changing the Default Burden Rate

Burden rates default to 14% for each employment type. To change this, contact Bullhorn Support and specify the percentage you want for each employment type you use.

Changing Internal Commissions Settings

If you're on ATS Growth (formerly Team) edition, contact Bullhorn Support to make these changes for you.

You can change the following System Settings to modify attributes for the Internal Commissions section:

  • commissionRoleList: The list of values for the Role drop-down. If no values exist, Role is a text field instead.

  • commissionRoleRecruiting: The default role assigned to the candidate owner when calculating a commission (usually "Recruiting").

  • commissionRoleSales: The default role assigned to the job owner when calculating a commission (usually "Sales").

For instructions on changing these settings, see the Placements section in Understanding Bullhorn System Settings.
