# How Can I Track Instructor Payroll Based on Classes Taught?

You track instructor payroll by connecting every class an instructor teaches to their pay rate, letting a dashboard calculate total pay owed automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through instructor data connected to class assignment records.

Calculating instructor payroll manually, counting classes taught against individual pay rates in a spreadsheet, is repetitive work that gets error-prone as the faculty grows.

## What manual instructor payroll calculation costs

- Time spent manually counting classes taught against individual pay rates
- Risk of applying the wrong rate for a specific instructor or class type
- Disputes over pay amounts from unclear or inconsistent calculation methods
- Delay between a term ending and payroll actually being calculated

## How automated instructor payroll tracking works

- Every instructor's **pay rate** is stored as structured data on their record
- Classes taught connect directly to that instructor, automatically summing pay owed
- The calculated amount stays documented, linked to the classes that generated it
- A dashboard can show accumulated pay owed per instructor over any period

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic calculation eliminates the repetitive manual summing
- Transparent, documented calculation reduces disputes over pay amounts
- Pay data stays connected to the classes that actually generated it
- This scales from a small faculty to a school with many instructors and rate structures

| Manual payroll calculation      | Automated instructor payroll       |

| Repeated summing, risk of error | Calculated automatically per class |
