Staff Bonuses and Deductions

Overview

Bonuses and deductions are one-off adjustments to a staff member's pay. A bonus adds to their earnings; a deduction subtracts from them. Both feed directly into the Total Earnings calculation on the payroll dashboard.

Bonuses

A one-off extra payment to a staff member outside their regular salary and commission — a spot bonus, a holiday bonus, a referral reward, and so on.

Where to find it: Staff Payroll → Total Bonuses card, or from the staff profile.

Add a bonus:

• Bonus name (required — e.g. "Ramadan bonus").

• Amount (required).

• Bonus date (required).

• Notes (optional).

Every bonus for the selected period adds straight into the staff member's Total Earnings. You can edit or delete a bonus later.

Deductions

The mirror of Bonuses — a one-off amount subtracted from a staff member's earnings, such as a cash-register shortfall, a damaged-equipment charge, or an advance repayment.

Where to find it: Staff Payroll → Total Deductions card, or from the staff profile.

Add a deduction:

• Deduction name (required).

• Amount (required).

• Deduction date (required).

• Notes (optional).

Deductions subtract from Total Earnings for the period they fall in, and can be edited or deleted the same way as bonuses.

Notes & limitations

Bonus and deduction amounts must be greater than zero, and a date is required. Both appear in the payroll dashboard's Recent Activity, where each item can be deleted after confirmation. Managing them is permission controlled along with other payroll actions.
