Additional Allowance Definitions


During the year, some additional allowances may be given to the employees apart from the salary. Additional Allowance is an addition to the monthly salary. While defining the Additional Allowance on Workcube, it can be adjusted according to various parameters, additional allowance can be entered collectively, a certain amount of additional allowance can be given or it can be proportioned according to the employee's salary. The time periods in which these allowances will be given can also be adjusted.

To create an Additional Allowance definition, a new additional allowance type must first be created via Payroll Rules > Additional Allowance Definitions.


  1. Social Security Status: It is the choice of which of the groups of Workers, Civil Servants, and Freelancers to take part in.
  2. Definition: It is the definition of additional allowance. 
  3. Amount: The amount in which the additional allowance will be applied is determined. This field can be entered as zero, the amount can also be determined on the employee while defining the additional allowance to the person. Currency: In which currency to pay is selected. The allowance is calculated by calculating the current exchange rate for foreign currency types.
  4. Social Security Administration: If exempt is selected, no Social Security Administration deduction is made from the defined additional allowance.
  5. Tax: If exempt is selected, the additional allowance defined will be exempt from income tax.
  6. Stamp Tax: If exempt is selected, no stamp tax deduction is made.
  7. Unemployment Share: If exempted, it will be exempt from unemployment share deduction.
  8. Sum Day: There are 3 options All, Day, and Actual Day.
    All
    If the All option is selected, the amount entered will be given directly as an additional allowance.
    If the amount is 300 USD, the additional allowance of 300 USD is reflected in the summary, regardless of how many days the employee works during the month.
    Day
    If Normal Day is selected, it takes the Total working days.
    If the amount is 300 USD and the total work (normal day + Weekly Holiday) is 30 days (300/30)*Day = ... additional allowance will be reflected in the summary.
    Actual Day
    The actual day is Normal Day-Weekly holiday.
    If the amount is: 300 USD, and total work(30) - Weekly Holiday(4) = Actual Day(26) x 300 = 7,800 USD additional allowance will be reflected in the summary.
    1. NOTE: If the employee has an unpaid leave during the month, the Additional Allowance Amount day is reflected in the summary by proportioning it to the working day according to the selected parameter. For example, if Actual day is selected in the Additional Allowance definitions and the employee has 10 days of unpaid leave in the same month, Normal Day-Weekly Holiday-Leave period (30-4-10) = 16 days x 100 USD = 1600 USD Additional Allowance is reflected in the summary.
    2. NOTE: In Payroll Flow Parameters,
    3. Social Security Day Admission -> Full
    4. When Social Security Tax Base is selected from 31 days -> No, it calculates the days and Social Security Tax Base over 30. Therefore, additional allowances are carried out on the same condition. Otherwise, it is based on the number of days in the month.
  9. Social Security Institution (SSI) exemption type: SSI Exemption Types are declared by the state with legislation. You should follow the current legislation for the SSI exemption type of the additional allowance you will define.

  14. Method: Can be set as Plus, %Monthly Salary, %Daily Salary and %Hourly Salary. In the plus method, the amount determined in the additional allowance is paid to the employee at the same rate every month. It allows us to define %Monthly Wage, %Daily Wage and%Hourly Wage proportional to the employee's wage. This percentage is defined in the "Multiplier" field. For example, if an additional allowance of 10% of the employee's monthly wage is desired, the number 10 is defined in the multiplier field.
