Funded by savings, never on top.

The bonus only pays from what the team earned. It can't cost more than it saves.

Designed for the trades.

"We saw the impact in one month."

— Mick Mulhall, Owner · Mulhall's Landscaping

The shift

From paying for time to paying for results.

Most businesses pay for hours and hope for output. The teams getting ahead are doing something different. Here's the difference, side by side.

Today, in most businesses

Pay rewards time. Not results.

  • ·Hours worked are tracked. Output isn't.
  • ·Top performers earn the same as the rest.
  • ·Owners carry every dollar of risk on every job.
  • ·Bonuses are arbitrary, manual, or non-existent.
With Protiv

Pay rewards results. Across every role.

  • The whole team works toward a shared, visible target.
  • Top performers earn what they're worth.
  • Wins (and risk) get shared between you and the team.
  • Bonuses are predictable, automatic, and trusted.

Same payroll. Different outcome. Performance pay funds itself.

Where the waste lives

Where the wasted hour hides.

It's not in the work. It's in everything around it. None of this is the actual job.

Slow planning.

Jobs start without a clear plan. The first hour is figuring it out.

Long shop time.

The truck doesn't leave the yard until 8:30. The crew billed from 7.

Wasted travel.

Two trips because nobody loaded everything the first time.

Wrong materials.

The job stops because the right thing's not on the truck.

Slow prep.

Setup takes 90 minutes when it should take 30.

Untracked downtime.

The hour between jobs that nobody plans, bills, or sees.

Works with your existing systems

No new system to learn. Protiv pulls data from where you already work.

How it actually runs

Each step, in motion.

Five steps from setting a target to closing the loop. Each one shown the way it actually appears in the product, with real numbers and a real workflow.

Step 1 — Set the targets

Pick what you're driving. Set the rules.

Define the budget for every job, route, or phase. Add the guardrails — quality, safety, dependability. Customize to your business policies, not someone else's template.

Set it once. The product applies it across every job from then on.

"What if I want different rules per branch?"
Each branch can run its own rules and targets. Roll up reporting at the org level.

Step 2 — Track the work

Production data flows in. Crews see live progress.

Hours, milestones, percent complete. All updated in real time from your existing system. No manual tracking. No duplicate entry.

The crew sees their pace on the phone. The manager sees the whole branch in one view.

"Do my workers have to clock in and out of cost codes all day?"
No. The product captures their time and distributes it for them at end of day.

Step 3 — Review and approve

Nothing pays out without your sign-off.

Field manager flags exceptions. Branch manager does final approval. Account manager processes payroll. Or in a smaller shop, the same person does all three.

Damages, deductions, and disqualifiers all surface here before payout. You see them before you sign.

"What if a callback hits after I already approved?"
The Held Bonus Ledger pulls it back automatically on the next statement. Zero manual math.
Bonus Payout Options and Bonus Payout Policies panels with disqualifiers, callback costs, and Approve Bonus button
Step 4 — Reward the wins

Bonuses pay automatically. Funded by savings.

Approved items move into a 15-day hold. Then they flow onto the worker's monthly statement. Paid through your existing payroll provider.

No manual math. No spreadsheets. No payroll surprises on Sunday night.

"How does this work with our payroll system?"
We export to your provider — UKG, ADP, Gusto, or your custom file format. Hands-off.

Step 5 — Debrief and refine

Each cycle teaches the next one.

Leaderboards by crew. Trend analytics by branch. Communication tools for your managers. The data that took a month to compile now updates in real time.

You see what's working. You tune what isn't. The flywheel turns.

"Can I see who my top crews actually are?"
Yes. Ranked by efficiency, by revenue, by margin per job. Filtered by branch, role, or job type.

What you can drive

You pick what to target.

Labor savings is the most common. There are others. The bonus shape adapts to how you actually run jobs.

On-site time

Reward time spent on the work, not around it.

Coming soon

Gross Margins

Tie performance pay directly to profit.

Coming soon

Sales Commission

Reward the team for revenue they helped close.

And the bonus shape adapts to the job. Quick jobs, long jobs with phases, recurring routes. The product fits how you actually work, not the other way around.

Built for every worker

The phone is where work meets wins.

Workers see their targets. Update their progress. Watch their bonus build. All from the field, in their own language.

Built-in safeguards

What about quality, safety, and overpaying?

Three answers in one section. Three fears dead in three short paragraphs.

Quality stays non-negotiable.

Callbacks come out of the bonus pool first. Held periods mean crews don't get paid until the work proves out. The team has a real reason to do it right the first time.

Held Bonus Ledger

Safety stays non-negotiable.

Safety violations disqualify the payout. You set the rules. The bonus doesn't earn if the standard isn't met.

Disqualifiers + penalties

Overpaying is impossible.

The bonus is funded by the savings. If the team didn't save anything, nothing pays out. The platform can't cost more than it saves.

Savings-funded by design
