This article describes the permissions required and how to view/add ad-hoc allowances and attachments to timesheets in the Timesheet (Admin) screen (available via Management > Timesheets > Timesheets).

Allowances can be added to timesheets to ensure employees receive their proper allowances.

Adhoc allowances ensure employees get their proper pay in scenarios where blanket rules cannot be applied.

Examples might include meal allowances, travel expenses, or deductions for items like extra uniforms.

Access Level Permissions

For someone to be able to add Allowances to a timesheet, their Access Level must have the Modify Ad-hoc Allowances permission enabled. To do this:

• Go to Admin > Security Config > Access Levels
• For the relevant Access Level row, click Edit
• Click on the Permissions tab
• Search for 'Allowance'
• Ensure the item TimeTarget Online > View Timesheet Authorisation Page > Allow editing > Modify Ad-hoc Allowances is ticked
  • If the authorisation level is to be ignored, allowing users to enter allowances for higher authorisation levels, click Override authorisation level
• After altering the selection, click Apply Changes.
• The changes will only be applied after refreshing the Timesheets page.
