Company admins can link position titles to business trip allowances and reflect them in payroll.
Employees register it on the dashboard and timesheet screen.
See “Business trip request (for admins)” for business trip settings that require approval requests.
To use business trip registration without approval requests, please follow the steps below.
*We will register or change the “Ⅲ. Tax setting and amount of business trip allowances”.
＜Changes＞
With the September 6, 2024 release, Workcloud has changed the payroll-related configuration screens.
Previously, client admins were able to register and change the amount of business trip allowances. However, after the release date, it is no longer possible, “view only”.
Please contact us if you would like to register a new business trip allowance amount, change the current amount, or change the taxable/non-taxable setting. We will set it up for you.
