Manage the money
The allowances screen will allow users to see and manage an officer’s allowances. Some values can be added onscreen but most are calculated based on the officer’s record of service (adjusted service date, length of service, etc). The allowance screen will display what an officer should be paid based on what is in their record.
Allowance | Calculated from… |
|---|---|
Basic Weekly Allowance | The amount is pulled from the Settings>Weekly Allowances table where OMS compares the length of service to get the amount to display. |
Children Allowance | Based on the “dependent” flag on a child relationship. The amount is pulled from the Settings>Allowance Modifiers table where OMS checks the age of the dependent child. If two records have the child dependent then the allowance amount will be divided by 2. |
Long Service | The amount is pulled from the Settings>Allowance Modifiers table where OMS checks the length of service to get the amount to display. |
Cost of Living Supplement | The amount is pulled from the Settings>Allowance Modifiers table where OMS awards an amount based on a specific appointment. This is not common. |
