Allowance amounts change every year so each year new amounts will need to be setup in OMS so it can display the correct information. These are called a “Pay Period” in OMS and can be created/managed in the settings module. For more information, read “How “How to manage add pay periods”periods”.
Allowance | Calculated from… |
