Managing Automated Allowances with Smart Formulas
Managing Automated Allowances with Smart Formulas
Some awards have allowances that are applied automatically when a file is validated (minimum engagement, laundry allowances etc.)
When Assigning Smart Formulas
By default, any automated allowances are enabled when assigning a smart formula to employees.
To disable all automated allowances so that they are not created when validating a file, turn the Use Automatic Allowances switch off. This will set all such allowances being assigned to manual.
