One salary structure, any allowance per employee.
Give each employee their own housing, transport, meal, or child allowance on top of a shared salary structure — with built-in approvals, an audit trail, and templates for fast setup. No duplicate structures, no developer-grade rule syntax.
The problem
HR teams that need different allowance amounts per employee are stuck duplicating salary structures or salary rules for every variation — a fragile setup that is painful to maintain and easy to get wrong at payroll time. The few apps that solve per-employee overrides sell approvals as a second purchase and configure through developer-grade syntax non-technical HR staff cannot use.
The solution
Define allowance types once, then grant fixed or percentage-of-wage amounts to any employee on top of one shared salary structure. Every change flows through a built-in approval workflow with amount-based escalation, a full chatter audit trail, and templates or batch tools for fast, bulk setup — all included, nothing sold separately.
Everything allowance management needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Allowance Type Catalog
Build a reusable catalog of allowance types — housing, transport, meal, and more — as fixed amounts or a percentage of wage, each with its own min/max range and approval threshold.
Per-Employee Allowances, One Structure
Grant any employee a fixed or percentage-of-wage allowance without touching their salary structure, closing the market's most common pain point: duplicate structures for every amount variation.
Conditional Approval Workflow
Route allowance changes through draft, to-approve, approved, and refused states, with amounts above a configurable threshold automatically escalated to the manager group.
Approvals Dashboard
Give approvers and HR a single, filterable view of every allowance awaiting a decision, so nothing waits unnoticed.
Amount Validation
Every allowance is checked against its type's minimum and maximum before it can be saved, catching out-of-policy entries at the source instead of after payroll.
Full Audit Trail
Every amount, state, and approval change is tracked on the chatter with the old value, new value, date, and user — the record HR and auditors need.
Allowance Templates
Pre-build a set of allowance types as a template and apply it to any employee in one click, turning a multi-line setup into seconds of work.
Batch Percentage Update
Apply a percentage change — like an annual increase — across many selected allowances at once instead of editing every record by hand.
Employee Smart Button
See each employee's total allowance amount and full schedule from a smart button on their own form — the same place HR already works, and a clean handoff point for a future payroll bridge.
How it works
Define Allowance Types
Set up your catalog of allowance types once — fixed or percentage, with min/max ranges and an approval threshold.
Grant an Allowance
Add a fixed-amount or percentage allowance to any employee, linked to their current contract.
Route for Approval
Submit the allowance; amounts above the threshold automatically escalate to a manager for sign-off.
Track and Adjust
Approved allowances show on the employee's smart button; use templates or batch updates to manage many at once.
Frequently asked

No. Allowances are granted per employee on top of your existing salary structure, so you keep one structure instead of creating a new one for every amount variation.
