Agents have the ability to enter/request and manage Recurring Deductions in the KW Profile. These include KWRI philanthropies such as KW Cares, KW Next Gen (formerly KW Kids Can) and BOLD Scholarship.
The Recurring Deductions selected will be automatically pre-filled into the Agent Payment section of the Commissions page in Opportunities, where you can edit or remove most deductions on a per-commission basis via the Edit Agent Payment button. This makes it easier than ever to give to life changing organizations.
To set recurring charitable deductions for Commissions in your Opportunities:
1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.
2. Click Your Name, at the top right of the page, then select My Profile.
3. On the left side of the page, scroll to the My Affiliations section and select the Market Center you want to set recurring deductions for.
4. Scroll to the Deductions section, then click Manage Deductions.
5. At the top of the Manage Deductions panel, enter the recurring deduction amounts for KW Cares, KW Kids Can and Bold Scholarship, then click Set Amount, to the right of that specific field. These deductions will auto-populate into each Commission Request you initiate in your Opportunities, where you can you can edit or remove these deductions on a per-Commission basis.
There are two deduction types to choose from for each charity option:
- Numeric - for each Commission Request you initiate, the system will auto-populate this specific currency amount deduction into the Agent Payment section of the Commission.
- Percent - for each Commission Request you initiate, the system will apply this deduction percentage to the Agent Commission amount, after the Associate Royalty and Company Commission is calculated, to determine the total amount of the deduction in the Agent Payment section of the Commission.
There is a minimum of $5 for KW Cares, if you select the Numeric option. If you try to save less than that, the system will give you an error. If you need to totally remove an amount you previously saved, for any deduction, ensure you use the Remove icon, , next to where it says "My Recurring Donation" (see step 7 below). |
6. After you have added a recurring deduction for one of these KWRI philanthropy fields, you can make edits at any time, and then click Update Amount to the right of the field you edit.
- Edits here will apply to any Commission Request going forward. If you have already accepted an offer for an Opportunity, the old amount will have already populated and will need to be edited within that specific Commission Request.
7. After you have added a recurring deduction for one of these KWRI philanthropy fields, you can use the Remove icon, , next to where it says "My Recurring Donation," to totally remove the recurring deduction.
- Removing a recurring deduction will apply to any Commission Request going forward. If you have already accepted an offer for an Opportunity, the old amount will have already populated and will need to be removed/edited within that specific Commission Request.
