Yes — AYP Group contractually guarantees continuous sales compensation during hotel and travel sales team transitions. Our framework covers pre-transition financial alignment so both providers agree on cutover dates and payment responsibilities, clear commission-allocation rules for in-flight bookings to prevent disputes, coordinated payroll timing with zero gaps between old and new cycles, and high-accuracy calculations across hospitality structures such as base pay, room revenue commissions, F&B/event percentages, occupancy bonuses, and service-charge distribution (where legally permitted). We also provide a 3-business-day error-correction commitment with hardship reimbursement if any AYP-caused delay affects employee finances.
These guarantees are written into the Master Services Agreement with hotel-specific standards: no missed pay cycles, 99.7% accuracy targets (with service credits if thresholds are not met), adherence to established client pay schedules, and immediate off-cycle corrections plus reimbursed employee expenses for any systemic issues.
For sales leaders in decision mode, AYP’s owned-entity infrastructure across 14+ APAC markets ensures enforceable payment continuity because we control payroll systems, hospitality commission rules, and compliance nuances across Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, and other APAC jurisdictions. Aggregator platforms, by contrast, rely on third-party partners, creating handoff risks that often lead to timing gaps, miscalculated multi-component commissions, and prolonged disputes—problems that can harm morale and threaten retention of top hotel sales performers.
Hotel and travel sales compensation is uniquely complex—multi-component structures, occupancy-linked bonuses, event-based timing, and service-charge rules that vary across APAC. These factors create high risk of gaps, miscalculations, and attribution disputes during an EOR transition. AYP eliminates these risks through a structured, contract-backed guarantee framework built for hospitality teams.
Hotel transitions often fail because payment responsibility becomes unclear—especially with staged event payments, occupancy bonuses, F&B true-ups, or service-charge allocations. AYP resolves this by documenting all financial responsibilities before cutover: exact transition date, allocation of multi-stage event commissions, partial-month occupancy bonus treatment, service-charge timing, and payment schedules.
Sales reps receive written confirmation of who pays what and when—ensuring zero missed cycles. If the outgoing provider cannot fund final payouts, AYP advances payment and recovers funds later. These “no-gap” guarantees are contractually enforceable and made possible by AYP’s owned-entity payroll control across all APAC markets.
Hotel compensation plans can include 5–8 components—room revenue, F&B, occupancy bonuses, multi-property overrides, service-charge distribution, long-term contract incentives, and more. AYP uses hospitality-configured payroll logic across APAC, pre-validates calculations with historical data, and itemizes every component on payslips.
The Master Services Agreement guarantees 99.7% accuracy, three-day correction windows, and service credits if accuracy drops below threshold—standards aggregators cannot commit to due to fragmented partner payroll systems.
Bookings like MICE events, destination weddings, and multi-year corporate agreements often span months across a transition—creating disputes over who gets which commission installment.
AYP prevents this through a full pipeline inventory, documented allocation rules (e.g., pro-rata or staged-payment attribution), and written sales-rep acknowledgments. Commission responsibility is assigned clearly to old vs. new provider, eliminating ambiguity and preventing post-transition disputes.
Because hospitality reps rely heavily on commissions, even small errors create immediate financial stress. AYP guarantees correction within three business days, uses off-cycle payments for urgent fixes, and reimburses reps for documented hardship costs (late fees, overdrafts, etc.). Every error triggers root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence.
Hospitality sales performance depends on confidence in compensation. AYP conducts detailed transition briefings, provides personalized written compensation and attribution summaries, issues weekly pre/post-transition updates, and validates the first payroll with each rep. This eliminates anxiety and supports retention during transitions—something aggregators struggle with due to fragmented communication responsibilities.
AYP is ready to walk you through our full Sales Compensation Continuity Guarantee for hotel and travel sales teams. Our transition process covers precise payment cutover planning, a clear demonstration of how your full hospitality commission structure will be calculated under AYP, a customized in-flight booking attribution framework for destination weddings, corporate events, and multi-year accounts, documented error-correction and hardship-protection commitments, and a communication plan that ensures every sales representative understands how their compensation will continue seamlessly. We also review the exact guarantee language in the Master Services Agreement and provide hotel-sector references who can verify zero payment gaps, smooth transitions, and stable team morale. All guarantees are backed by AYP’s owned-entity payroll infrastructure across 14 APAC markets—delivering direct payroll control, hospitality-specific templates, 99.7% accuracy standards, rapid correction capability, and unified financial coordination that aggregator platforms relying on external partners cannot match in high-stakes hospitality transitions where uninterrupted, transparent commission delivery is essential for productivity and retention.
AYP removes ambiguity by confirming the method before transition. Most hotel clients choose full-month bonuses for all eligible reps, since everyone contributed to occupancy performance. If a client prefers pro-rating based on days employed under each provider, AYP documents and communicates that approach upfront to prevent disputes.
AYP continues the property’s established methodology—whether revenue-based, equal-share, or another formula—while ensuring full compliance with local laws such as Thailand’s Labor Protection Act and relevant rules in the Philippines and other APAC markets. A pre-transition audit confirms correct statutory treatment (e.g., Social Security contributions) and fixes any gaps before go-live.
AYP uses payment-trigger attribution, the cleanest method in hospitality. If contract signing occurs pre-transition, the old employer pays that portion; final payment and event-execution commissions paid after transition fall under AYP. Sales reps receive written documentation showing exact allocation and timing.
Yes—if managed properly. AYP applies the old plan to all in-flight bookings at the time of transition and the new plan only to opportunities created afterward. This avoids retroactive changes to work already performed and gives reps a clean, fair break between plans.
While AYP guarantees coordination, it cannot enforce the old provider’s contract. To protect sales reps, the client may fund AYP directly so AYP can pay reps immediately, while the client pursues recovery from the old provider. This three-party arrangement ensures zero gaps and is the recommended approach for hotel groups.
