How to Add a Spontaneous Premium on a Shift

Adding premiums on work shifts manually

Written by Kathy Gwinnett

With the condition that an Administrator has enabled and created at least one Spontaneous Premium, Supervisors and Managers can manually add/delete premiums to shifts and time entries.

Here is how an Administrator can create a Spontaneous Premium

Adding a Premium to a Shift

  • Go to the Shift Creation Window

  • "Premiums" tab

  • Apply a spontaneous premium

  • Choose the Premium from the drop-down list

Choosing the quantity

Commonly, spontaneous premiums should be assigned a specific number of hours, preferably "1". That way, premium reports will easily show how many times this premium was added (instead of showing a total of hours subject to it).

  1. Apply to the entire shift (i.e. an 8-hour shift will produce 8h of premium)

  2. Apply a specific quantity (i.e. 1 unit of the premium will be added to this shift)

Adding a Premium to a Time Entry

  1. Go to the "Attendance" tab

  2. Open the "Time Entry" window

  3. Click on the "Add a premium" button

  4. Apply a spontaneous premium

  5. Choose the Premium from the drop-down list
