Undertanding Comp Plans When Importing Policies

What is a Comp Plan?

A comp plan defines how commissions are calculated and paid on a policy.  It tells the system when, how much, and under what conditions commissions should be earned.  When importing policies into AgencyComp, users can either create a full comp plan for accurate commission projections or use temporary plans for faster setup. The best option depends on whether accuracy or speed is the primary goal.

Option 1: Create a Full Comp Plan

This option reflects how commissions are actually paid and provides the highest level of accuracy across all reports, including Pending Business, Revenue Projection, Projected vs Actual, Missing Commission, and Advanced Commission.

Pros: Accurate projections and reporting
Cons: Requires understanding commission schedules and takes more time to set up

 

Option 2: Use Temporary Comp Plans

AgencyComp provides temporary plans for each commission type. These plans allow users to quickly import policies and identify missing commissions, with the option to refine plans later.  By using our Bulk Change tool, comp plans can be quickly updated in bulk.

Pros: Fast setup and minimal configuration
Cons: Less accurate projections

Recommendation

Use a full comp plan when accuracy matters. Use temporary plans when your primary goal is to quickly identify missing commissions.
