How do I assign or edit Housing Allowance?

Use the Edit Employee page and then under Rates enter the Employee Housing Percentage. When you change a percentage like Housing, it will only be reflected the next time you process pay. Whatever you enter in the housing percentage will be auto loaded when you process the pay for the next month. You will see the housing calculated amount on the right hand side of the normal payment capture screen. Should you wish the housing change to be reflected on an already processed payment, then delete the payment and re pay the employee. NB As with many settings, you may apply a particular housing allowance percentage to all employees within a Department with one single edit. In this case go to Settings and then Department settings and choose your Department. Once you click 'apply to all' then all employees within the department will have the same Housing allowance percentage. It is calculated as percentage of basic pay as per legal requirement. ie no overtime, holidays or extras are used in the calculation of the housing value. Note: "Cashing of leave" is considered above basic as the employee does not go on physical leave if they are "cashing in" on their leave without taking the days off work. If you want the employee to receive a fixed salary and to have their leave cashed as an extra then we have the option to change the employee "pay type" from "fixed" to "daily" and then the employee can still remain on a "fixed" basic pay. To change the setting on the employee from "fixed" to "daily" then on the "edit individual employee" page look for the "employee pay-type" drop down setting. (Not on department settings)
