Employee allowances can range from providing remote employees with a daily spending limit, right through to providing a travel allowance. There are many types of allowances offered. Having a register where you can record which of your employees is getting what allowance will make it easier to manage this area.
The Employee Benefits section in an employees file lets you give your company allowances. You can set up details like the name, salary, start date, end date, team, and any other comments. You can also use this feature to edit any information if it changes and delete a record that is no longer required.
Before being able to assign a benefit to an employee, you will need to create the benefit categories first within Payroll Settings. To read further information on how to create these categories, refer to the following article.
Important
You will use the Benefits feature for record-keeping purposes. Only the benefits (allowances) set up does not sync through to your payroll platform. However, we will notify your payroll admin when you add a benefit so they know to make the changes in your company's payroll platform.
