Off-cycle payouts deserve the same controls as payroll
Commission runs, bonus batches, partner incentives — the amounts are ad-hoc and the spreadsheets are unforgiving. SOLnova gives every off-cycle batch the review, change tracking, and audit log you already use for payroll.

Why off-cycle is high-risk
Ad-hoc by nature
No fixed schedule, no fixed amounts. Every batch is built from scratch.
Lives entirely in spreadsheets
The commission model is one Excel; the approval is an email; the payment is another file.
High-stakes, low-process
Reps notice missing or wrong commissions immediately. Mistakes hurt morale fast.
No history for next time
Each cycle is reinvented. There's no easy "compare to last month."
How SOLnova solves it
Off-cycle batch building
Create a batch any time. Same controls as payroll, no payroll-system constraints.
Per-rep history
Every payout has a per-payee history view — compare this commission run to last.
Multi-stage approval
Sales-ops makes; finance checks; CFO approves above threshold. All in one workflow.

Can SOLnova calculate commissions?
No — calculation is your commission model. SOLnova takes the calculated batch and adds the review, approval, and payment-execution layer.
Can we run a commission batch in parallel with payroll?
Yes. Separate batches, same audit log, same controls.
