Setting up additional allowances

Additional allowances are optional payments provided to employees to cover specific daily expenses. These allowances, regulated by government-set rates, are commonly used in countries like the UK to reimburse costs such as transportation, drinks, or entertainment. To enable these allowances, you must activate them on the Setup (Continia Expense Management) page.

To configure specific allowances:

1. Search () for and select Setup (Continia Expense Management).
2. On the action bar, click Per Diem Setup.
3. Under General, you can enable or disable these allowance types: Accommodation, Meals, Entertainment, Drinks, and Transport with the following setting options:
   1. Disabled - allowances are not used.
   2. Enabled (no allowances by default) - allowances are enabled, but they are not automatically assigned to the expense user. The user must actively select the relevant allowance types when they're submitting their expense.
   3. Enabled (allowances by default) - allowances are enabled and automatically assigned to the expense user by default. They can use these pre-selected allowances without having to allocate additional selections when they submit their expense.
4. Search () for and select Per Diem Rate and select the related link.
5. On the Per Diem Rate card, under Additional Allowance, enter the daily allowance amount for drinks, transport, and entertainment.
