Home Service Pro Payout and Holdback Ledger

Home services marketplaces often pay independent cleaners, pest technicians, repairers and moving crews, and a pro's week is more than job price less commission. Tips arrive after the job, approved materials need a receipt, a re-clean done by someone else changes who earned what, and a job under an open complaint should wait until the case closes. This concept shows a weekly payout run building on the payouts and settlement envisioned for Kadaikodi, where each pro is set up as their own merchant and their statement is built from their completed orders.

The desktop illustration places Pro Payouts for one sample week of jobs under Financial in Kadaikodi's Platform Admin, marked as a draft not yet approved, with an Approve payout run button. Tiles report pros in the run, total job value, the amount held for open cases and exceptions to review. The Statements table gives each pro and service line their jobs, job value, commission, tips, materials, adjustments, amount held and payout. In every sample row the payout equals job value less commission, plus tips and materials, less adjustments and holds. A moving crew's row is highlighted, and a Line detail panel explains its hold: the local-move order is held until its damage claim closes, the same case the complaint desk shows.

An Exceptions panel lists what the finance lead should clear before approving: a re-clean paid twice, a hold older than fourteen days, a missing bait receipt and tips received after the cut-off on two jobs. The phone illustration shows the pro's side once the run is approved, in the Earnings tab of the Kadaikodi worker app they use for tasks: the week's payout with its payment date and an Approved badge, a How it adds up breakdown of jobs, commission, tips and a deduction for a re-clean done by another pro, three of the week's jobs, a year-to-date total and a link for questions. Its sample figures mirror a cleaning pro's row in the run.

Because Kadaikodi holds the orders, every line is designed to trace back to one. In the design, commission follows the rate the marketplace sets for each pro, approved materials such as pest bait or an appliance part carry their receipt, and year-end totals per pro stay with the ledger for the finance lead and their tax adviser. A footer notes that closed-job figures are sent to BigConsole via FluidGrids, reflecting the intent that a FluidGrids workflow carries them into BigConsole for reporting. The ledger is designed for marketplace finance leads, and the statement for the pros themselves.
