All Purpose Allowance allows you to select which Allowances are components of the All Purpose Allowance applicable to this Payee. These Allowances are also loaded into Process, the same as Pay Template.

How does the All Purpose Allowance Calculation work?

If the An All Purpose Allowance is applicable checkbox is selected within a Pay Rate, and the Rate Per Hour is set to a percentage value (%), the Rate Per Hour is dynamically calculated based on the following calculation, 

OTE Hours Per Week * Rate Per Hour as set in Employment within the Payee Master File plus the total of all Allowances assigned in All Purpose Allowance, multiplied by the percentage for the selected Pay Rate.

As an example, Time and a Half is required to be paid, and the An All Purpose Allowance is applicable checkbox has been selected within the Pay Rate,

OTE Hours Per Week within the Payee Master File is 38.00

Rate Per Hour within the Payee Master File is $22.1079

The Supplemental Allowance is $33.28 Lump Sum

The Tools Allowance is $20.02 Lump Sum

The Travel Allowance is $0.79 per Hour * 38 Hours = $30.02

Based on the above, the Rate Per Hour for Time and Half is
((22.1079 x 38) + 33.28 + 20.02 + 30.02) / 38 = $24.3005
$24.3005 * 150.00 % = $36.45
