Next, select the applicable Day Types and Shifts for this allowance.

Enable Applicable to All Shifts if the allowance applies to every shift Otherwise, disable the toggle and select the specific shifts that are eligible.

Step 5

If the Daily Allowance Is Not Generated

If an eligible employee does not receive the Daily Allowance, check the following:

1. Verify the employee's attendance record

If the attendance record shows an Incomplete exception, it means either the clock-in or clock-out record is missing.

Since the Daily Allowance criteria require a complete attendance record that meets the configured conditions, employees with incomplete attendance records will not qualify for the allowance.

2. Run Attendance Batch Process

If you have:

• updated the Daily Allowance settings, or
• newly assigned employees to the allowance,

run an Attendance Batch Process so the system recalculates attendance based on the latest configuration.

Without ticking any reset options, select only the affected schedule and employees when performing the batch process. Refer to the Batch Process Resetting Attendance to Default Schedule Settings article for detailed instructions.
