Employee Guide | Add Unit Allowances to Timesheets
1) Overview
Allowances are elements of wages that are in addition to normal wages. A unit allowance is similar to a regular allowance, although is paid on a per-unit basis.
An employee may be paid, for example, an allowance based on the number of kilometers that they drive using their car.
NOTE: Permissions control which users can add unit allowances into My timesheet or Timesheet. By default, this is a user with owner or payroll admin permission. See the permission and function guide here. If you would like other permission sets to be able to add unit allowances, your internal EE (Easy Employer) organisation owner can contact support@easyemployer.com.
