Paying your instructors
How instructor pay statements are built from the flight hours already recorded, how you set a rate, approve a statement and export it, and why this is not payroll.
Last reviewed
Instructor pay in FlyerOS is built from the flight hours the system already holds. The lessons were checked in, flown and closed out, so the hours are already there, which means a pay statement does not start with someone copying figures off a sheet.
Setting the rate
Each school sets its own instructor rates. Once a rate is set, FlyerOS looks it up when it builds the statement, so you are not entering it flight by flight.
From hours to a statement
A statement gathers the hours an instructor delivered over the period and applies the rate. Because it reads the same flight records the rest of the system uses, the statement matches the schedule and the training records rather than disagreeing with them.
Approve and export
- Open Finance, then Instructor pay.
- Review a statement against the hours behind it.
- Approve it, and export the pay run.
The export gives you a file you can hand to whoever runs your payroll or to your accountant.
Not payroll
This produces the figures and the statement. It does not run PAYE, deductions or a bank payment. It is the honest input to payroll, prepared from real hours, not a replacement for your payroll system.
