Generation Pay FAQsUpdated 3 months ago
What is a Generation?
A Generation is a group of downline Advocates. It starts with an Ambassador or higher Recognition Title Advocate and includes everyone in their downline, down to (but not including) the next Ambassador Recognition Title or higher. If someone with an Ambassador Recognition Title or higher is not a Paid-As Ambassador or higher, they are still considered a Generation.
When a New Generation is created, does Generation Pay start that same month?
Yes. For example, if an Advocate reaches the Ambassador title in March, Generation Pay on that Advocate’s Generation will also start in March.
When a downline Advocate becomes a Generation, do I lose their volume? Does it reduce my overall TV?
No, you maintain all the volume. You do not lose any volume when a Generation is created.
If an Advocate is not a Paid As Ambassador for that month, are they still a Generation?
Yes. Generations are based on Recognition Title. If your downline Advocate’s Recognition Title falls below the Ambassador title, they will no longer be a Generation for you and you will no longer receive Generation Pay on their volume. If there are any Generations below them those will compress up.
Will I be paid a commission on the volume generated below my first four levels, if it is not under a Generation and I qualify to earn the Generation bonuses?
No. You will only be paid on Levels below four if they are in a Generation.
How many Generations am I able to unlock per leg?
You have the opportunity to unlock up to five Generations deep per leg. So if you have 10 legs, you could unlock 50 Generations, five per leg.
Does the TV coming from below Generation five still count towards my TV?
Yes. Team Volume (TV) is all of the volume in your downline until infinity.
Do Team Volume (TV) and Generation Pay overlap? In other words, if I have an Ambassador at Level one and her team goes down six levels, do I still receive my Team Volume commissions on Levels 1 - 4 in addition to my Generation pay?
Yes, you would receive your Team Volume commissions for Levels 1 - 4 and then an additional Generation percentage on all of the volume in that generation.
Is my Generation Payout based on CTV?
Yes. Your Generation payout percent is calculated on Commissionable Team Volume (CTV). This means that you receive a commission on the volume that remains after that Generations PV commission has been deducted. For example, if Amy had 5,000 in PV and was paid $1,500 in PV commission, your Generation Pay would be based on 3,500 in volume. (5,000 - 1,500 = 3,500).
What is the New Generation Minimum?
The New Generation Minimum is a requirement to develop at least one first Generation within a rolling twelve-month period. The 12-month rolling period includes the current month you are in and the prior 11 months. The Generation can be a new Ambassador or a repromoted Ambassador.
