What is an allowance?
An allowance is an employee entitlement specific to their role. For example, an employee working as a cook in the fast-food industry may receive a laundry allowance.
Allowances can be applied to an employee or by an area. You can set up allowances to be applied per hour of a shift, a shift total or as a quantity or multiplier.
