Personnel Budgeting - Create Additional Pays and Benefits

In the Data Model Manager, you will create all possible Additional Pay and Benefits an Employee can receive in either the Benefit or Additional Pay sub-tab, depending on how you want to classify that expense. 

Let’s take a closer look at Benefits and Additional Pay and how to configure them in ClearGov.

Navigate to the Data Model Manager tab and select the Benefits subtab or Additional Pay subtab. 

Select Create Benefits or Create Additional Pay.

1. Enter a Name.
2. Enter a Description of the rule (optional).
3. Select a Calculation Model. Each calculation model follows different rules and allows for different details.
4. Select the Save button to move to the next step. 

Note: The calculation model options are the same for both the Additional Pay and Benefits tabs. 

Next, select Add Option to create an additional pay category.

Note: You can add as many options as you’d like, but can only assign one option per Employee later on in the Positions tab. If one Employee needs to be able to receive both options, you should split into 2 additional pays.  

Depending on the calculation you selected, you may have a different process for creating the additional pay or benefit. Select the calculation below to learn more.
