Allowances can be used within ShiftCare for expenses, food, mileage, override payItem, sleepovers, etc.
To add an allowance to a shift, select the shift and click 'Edit' in the top-right corner of the screen. If this button is not visible, this typically means the shift has already been invoiced, cancelled, or the worker’s time has been approved.
Navigate to the 'Shift' section and click the 'Allowance' dropdown menu. From here, you can choose the type of allowance to add to the shift. Make sure you have already set up the necessary allowances.
You can add more than one option. To remove an allowance, just click on the 'x' beside the name of the allowance.
For more detailed settings, click 'Advanced edit'.
Here, you will be able to add the KMs for Mileage Allowance and set an amount in ($). Please take note that adding mileage KMs will follow a different process if you have Split Mileage enabled.
If you missed adding or attaching an allowance when creating the shift, you can also add it later through the staff timesheet page. Navigate to Timesheet > List in the sidebar menu and click on the name of the staff member.
Look for the correct shift and click the blue 'Edit' button at the far right of the screen.
A pop-up menu will appear, where you can add the necessary allowances, as well as the KMs and expenses in ($). Click 'Submit' after making your changes.
