Adhoc allowances are extra payments that can be added to an employee's timesheet on a case-by-case basis. These are often used for travel payments, meal allowances, or anything else that cannot be automated.
To manage Allowances, head to Admin > Award Config > Pay Types.
Use Add New Record in the top left.
At a minimum, you will need to give your allowance a Name, specify if it's an allowance that will be entered based on hours or units (eg kilometres or number of meals), the Value (or Multiplier if using Hourly for the type), and ensure that the box for This Pay Type is an Adhoc Allowance is ticked.
You will most likely need to make sure the Adhoc Allowance is Included in payroll export with the proper Export Code used in your payroll system.
There are optional fields to limit the allowance on a daily or period basis, assign minimum or maximum quantities, or add an identifying icon that is used in the Back Office, if needed.
After your allowance is configured, you can begin to add it to timesheets, assuming you have the correct permissions.
