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

You can add a customised addition called, for example, "Cane Bonus" as an "Extra Based on Days" Type of extra. Go to the settings page. Choose Edit-Company-Extras. Click on "add an Extra"(at the bottom). Give it a name eg "CaneBonus". Specify it as an "Addition" in the "Method" field. Specify "Based on Days" in the "Type" field. Click on the "Val times by Days" to edit the default Value. eg this is the Value that is multiplied by the number of Standard (normal) days. It will be good to make this extra apply only on a Department level and NOT Company-Wide (example: to the Cane Cutters department and not to everyone). So do NOT tick the checkbox "Apply-to-all" in the Company. Note: This particular Customized extra will NOT appear on the the second input page for each employee payment capture as no input is required. Note: This value will be accumulated from month to month in the current calendar year and will NOT be included in the NET pay. At the end of the accumulated period you need to actually make an extra payment to the employee for the accumulated amount. A suggestion when it comes to paying out the Cane Bonus is to use the Bonus field in the standard "employee-payment-capture" screen to manually enter the total accumulated cane bonus. Note the Accumulated Amount will still reflect on the payslip but will be automatically cleared each January so as to make room for the next season to start accumulating again. It is helpful to go to the "More-Reports" page and click on the "Extras-Accumulative" report to print out the summary of each employee's cane bonus accumulation into excel. On this report, remember to click on the "Select Customised Extra" drop down search box on the top right and choose the "Cane Bonus" extra before you export to Excel so that you produce the Cane Bonus Report.
