How to manage allowance modifiers
- Jason Reel (Deactivated)
It will be important for users to update the allowance modifiers for each pay period. An allowance modifier is typically the child allowance rate or long service rate that would be applied to an officer’s allowance. Follow the steps below to update these values.
Instructions
Each year the allowance modifiers for the new pay period will need to be updated. This can be very straightforward in the case of child allowance and long service rates.
Select the pay period to get started.
If the pay period is new the table will be blank.
Click “Copy Values from a Previous Pay Period” and select the previous year as this will copy in all the basic info to get started.
Click the edit button in each row to update the amount of the modifier.
Continue update the modifiers until all reflect the new pay period rates.
Alternatively, users can manually add the modifiers as needed by selecting “Add Row”.
Some territories award a supplemental allowance amount based on the region the officer’s appointment. This amount would show up under the “Cost of Living Supplement” value on the allowances screen. Users will create these modifiers so that any officer holding a position in either a defined Command/Group or Location/Ministry will be awarded the allowance.
Click “Add Row”
Select a “Command/Group” for positions that are to receive the allowance amount.
Select the “Location/Ministry” for the position(s) that are to receive the allowance amount.
Set the adjustment to “Per Officer”.
Set a custom amount.
The example below will award all officer’s serving in a position in the Corps Community Center at Brainerd (Lakes), MN an additional $50.00.
