How to enter Irregular Allowances
From "Time & Income", select "Allowance" under "More Income & Deductions".
Select "Set Up Items". Select the items you would like to use in your payroll system, then select the arrow pointing over toward the right-hand side. Close this menu.
After ensuring you have chosen the correct Employee, selected "Add".
Select an "Item" from the dropdown menu and, if required, add a free-format description. Next enter a "Quantity" (how many items you wish to provide) and then a "Pay Rate" (for each Item). The system will calculate a total amount for this Item. If you want to enter the total amount yourself then you can set the "Quantity" to "1" and the "Pay Rate" as the full amount.
Important: On the right-hand side of the menu, you can select the "Income Type". There are three different income types, "Ordinary", "Conditional", and "Excluded". These choices are more important than you may realise, as they directly affect leave pay rate calculations. If you are unsure of what income type you should be using, please follow our guide: The Different Types of Income.
After you select "Save", this addition will be recorded under "More Income & Deductions".
