With the condition that an Administrator has enabled and created at least one Spontaneous Premium,  Supervisors and Managers can manually add/delete premiums to shifts and time entries. 

Here is how an Administrator can create a Spontaneous Premium

Adding a Premium to a Shift

  • Go to the Shift Creation Window

  • "Premiums" tab

  • Apply a spontaneous premium

  • Choose the Premium from the drop-down list

Choosing the quantity

Commonly, spontaneous premiums should be assigned a specific number of hours, preferably "1". That way, premium reports will easily show how many times this premium was added (instead of showing a total of hours subject to it).

  1. Apply to the entire shift (i.e. an 8-hour shift will produce 8h of premium)

  2. Apply a specific quantity (i.e. 1 unit of the premium will be added to this shift)

Adding a Premium to a Time Entry

  1. Open the "Time Entry" window

  2. Click on the "Add a premium" button

  3. Apply a spontaneous premium

  4. Choose the Premium from the drop-down list

Choosing the quantity

Usually, spontaneous premiums should be assigned a specific number of hours, preferably "1". That way, premium reports will easily show how many times this premium was added (instead of showing a total of hours subject to it).

  1. Apply to the entire shift (i.e. an 8-hour shift will produce 8h of premium)
