How do I enter a custom Accumulated amount based on Days worked?

A customised Cane Bonus can be configured so that it is calculated using only the days on which an employee actually cuts cane. First, go to Settings, choose Edit Company Extras and add an extra called, for example, “Cane Bonus”. Set the extra up as follows: * Method: Addition * Type: Based on Days * Val times by Days: Enter the Cane Bonus value that must be multiplied by the employee’s cane-cutting days. The Cane Bonus should normally be applied only to the Cane Cutters department. Do not select “Apply to All” unless the bonus must apply to every employee. How to separate cane-cutting days from general labour days If a cane cutter works some days cutting cane and other days doing general labour or other non-cutting work: 1. Go to the Department Settings for the Cane Cutters department. 2. Enter the appropriate general-work daily rate in the Other Day Rate field. 3. During payment capture, enter only the days actually spent cutting cane in the Normal Days field. 4. Enter the non-cutting or general-labour days in the Other Days field. Because the Cane Bonus is configured as Based on Days, it will be calculated using the Normal Days entered for actual cane cutting. The Other Days will be calculated separately using the department’s Other Day Rate and will not increase the Cane Bonus. Example If an employee spends 18 days cutting cane and 4 days performing general labour: * Normal Days: 18 * Other Days: 4 Harvester will calculate the Cane Bonus using the 18 cane-cutting days only. The four general-labour days will be calculated using the department’s Other Day Rate. The different days and amounts will also be shown separately on the employee’s payslip. Accumulating and paying the Cane Bonus This customised extra accumulates during the current calendar year and is not automatically included in Net Pay. When the accumulated Cane Bonus must be paid, the total can be entered manually in the Bonus field on the employee payment-capture screen. You can view the accumulated amounts from More Reports by opening the Extras-Accumulative report. Select the Cane Bonus extra from the customised-extra list before exporting the report to Excel. Accumulated amounts are not cleared automatically in January. They continue to accumulate across months and years until the bonus or other accumulated amount has been paid. After payment, use the manual reset option under Settings to clear all previous accumulated amounts and begin a new accumulation period.
