Assign employee benefits to an employee

Available for the following HR plans: Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access levels: Admin

Employee allowances can range from providing remote employees with a daily spending limit, right through to providing a travel allowance. There can be many types of allowances offered, so having a register where you can record which of your employees is receiving what allowance will reduce your administrative time spent in this area.

The Employee Benefits feature within an employees file is where you assign your organisation's allowances and you can specify details such as the name, amount, start date, end date, team and add in any required 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 receive a prompt to make the necessary updates in your organisation's payroll platform.
