Bonuses and deductions can be accrued based on various metrics that you set yourself. For example: a bonus for returning clients, no late arrivals, great performance, etc. Deductions — for being late, poor-quality work, damaged equipment, etc.
For the most common cases, you can create bonus and deduction templates so that later you can select a specific type of bonus.
Creating bonuses and deductions #
- Go to Payroll > Bonuses and Deductions.
- Click Add bonus or Add deduction.

- Enter the Bonus/Deduction name (for example, “for good work”, “for being late”, etc.) and the Default amount. If needed, you can change it at the accrual stage.
- Click Save. These templates can be edited and deleted, and you can also create new ones.
