Additional payments and bonuses: from form to payroll, with the reason always visible.
Extra pay tracking: bonus, premium, meal and travel cards, per diem form; net/gross basis, approval and payroll transfer, warning for untransferred lines.
Additional payments form: bulk one-time payment entry, approval and cancellation
On a form row, a person is selected with '+ Add Employee' ('+ Personel Ekle'), and the row type, quantity or days and the unit amount are entered. The form is saved as a draft and becomes valid with 'Approve' ('Onayla'); it can be cancelled, and the cancellation can be reversed.
Types of supplemental wages: bonus, premium, meal, travel, per diem
Bonuses (prim), bonus payments (ikramiye), meal (cash or card), travel (cash or card), per diem and other additional payments are entered as form lines. A location-specific additional payment subtype is created with '+ New type' ('+ Yeni tür'); the subtype is only a label and does not affect taxation.
Transfer to Payroll: approved lines become payroll instructions
At approval, rows marked 'Transfer to Payroll' ('Bordroya Aktar') become payroll item instructions according to the payment type; unmarked rows stay outside payroll. The user creates the instruction, and the system confirms it.
Net or gross: net to gross bonus conversion and bonus gross-up
The person entering the form chooses a net or gross basis; there is no default. A payment agreed as net is converted to gross in payroll; the payslip shows the agreed net alongside the gross.
Meal card, meal allowance and travel card: tax exemption by days worked
On meal and transport card rows, the days worked from the timesheet are shown read-only; the daily exemption is calculated as 'daily value × days worked'. A net basis can be selected for cards.
Per diem: duty days × rate
Per diem is carried to the payroll instruction as assignment days × unit. The exemption is calculated with the assignment days on the form; any excess counts as pay.
Warning for untransferred lines and the 'No additional payment this period' declaration
A row payroll cannot calculate is not converted into an instruction, and the form stays valid; the transfer status and reason for each row appear in a persistent warning. If there is no uncancelled form, a 'no additional payments' declaration is given for the location and period; the additional payment check in the payroll calculation reads it.
Additional payments blocked for locked or finalized employees
For a person whose payroll is frozen or finalized, an additional payment for that period cannot be approved, cancelled or have its cancellation reversed. The refusal is shown with a list of the people affected.
