Only Finance Admins have permission to create and edit Pay Allowances.
Do Staff at your School require additional funds to fulfil their duties? Add a Pay Allowance so staff can claim these funds easily!
A Pay Allowance is a payment made to Staff for completing certain tasks, working in certain locations, using a special skill, or for expenses that occurred on the job. Eg: First-Aid Allowance, Laundry Allowance.
To create a Pay Allowance:
Go to Settings
Select Timesheets
Choose Pay Allowances from the dropdown menu
Click Create (top right). Then fill out the details. Save.
You can now go and add these allowances to Pay Grades.
To edit an existing Pay Allowance, simply click on the Edit/Pencil icon of the Pay Allowance you want to edit, make the necessary changes and Save!
You will then need to add this Pay Allowance to the Pay Grade.
Suggestion for Using Pay Allowances to be applied per Location
If Staff Users get Pay Allowances based on the location of Sessions (e.g. to travel to and from another school), Finance Admin add Pay Allowances with the name of each location.
These allowances can be an Opt-In Allowance, and Staff can manually apply them to their Timesheet, based on the name of the allowance.
