At Oasis Turf & Tree, we believe hard work should be rewarded. That's why every technician starts with a guaranteed base rate of $21.00 per hour.
|
How Oasis Pay Structure Works |
What it Means |
|
Guaranteed Starting Pay |
Every technician starts at a guaranteed $21.00 per hour. This serves as a safety net, ensuring you'll never earn less than this amount while you're learning the role or building your productivity. |
|
Two-Week Training Period |
During your first two weeks, you'll be paid your guaranteed hourly rate while completing hands-on training and learning our processes, equipment, and service standards. |
|
Performance-Based Pay |
After training, you'll transition to our performance-based pay system. Instead of earning an hourly wage, you'll have the opportunity to earn more based on performance. |
|
10% Commission |
Technicians start out earning 10% commission on the revenue they generate through completed services, rewarding efficiency and productivity. |
|
Example of Higher Earnings |
If you complete $10,000 in production during a 40-hour work week, your 10% commission equals $1,000, which equals $25.00 per hour, more than the guaranteed hourly rate. |
|
Example of the Learning Stage |
New technicians may not immediately reach higher production levels. For example, completing $6,000 in production in a 40-hour week would equal $600 in commission, or $15.00 per hour if paid on commission alone. But we don't stop here. |
|
Built-in Safety Net |
Because Oasis Turf & Tree guarantees a minimum of $21.00 per hour, you would still earn the higher hourly rate rather than the lower commission amount while you're gaining experience. |
|
When Commission Takes Over |
Once your commission earnings exceed what you would have made at $21.00 per hour, you'll be paid based on your performance giving you the opportunity to increase your weekly income. You will always have the $21.00 safety net. |
The goal of this pay structure is to reward employees as they become more efficient and productive. As your skills improve and you complete more work, your earning potential grows, giving you more control over how much you can earn.
