When to use this

Use a top up allowance when one allowance unit should be added if a shift starts, finishes, or overlaps a configured time window. For example, add one evening allowance when a weekday shift touches the period from 19:00 to midnight.

Before You Start

Open or create the Smart Formula from Smart Formulas > Configure. Confirm whether the allowance should apply automatically during assignment. See Assign Smart Formulas to Employees.

Example Setup

Worked Example

The allowance is one unit for the shift. It does not multiply by the number of hours in the time window.
