Creating Allowance Claims on Larger Screens

Allowances are subsidies your transit agency grants its employees. For example, money for uniforms.

Employees can only submit allowance claims for amounts equal to or less than their remaining allowance balance. Fields shown on the Claim Allowance dialog depend on the selected allowance type.
  1. In the navigation bar, select Pay > Allowances.
    Current allowance balances appear at the top of the page.
  2. Optional: View previously created records:
    1. Filter records by Allowance Type.
    2. Select a From Date and To Date.
    Note:
    A Credit is an Activity amount provided to you and a Debit is an activity amounts that you have claimed. The Adjust activity resets the value of the allowance. For example, if you are given a $500 allowance for tools every year and you have $100 left to use on December 31st, then on January 1st you could see an Adjust amount for $500 and a Tools balance of $500 (not $600).
