You can add a staff meal to a shift or to a time entry. There are two locations where these meal allowances can be created.
1. You can do it while adding a new shift or a time entry. In the window you find 'Meal allowance', then click the '+Meal' button.
2. Or set it up in the company settings. Go to the menu in the top right corner > Company settings > Time registration > Meal allowance.
We have added some standard allowances (breakfast, lunch, diner). Activate (or deactivate) an allowance by using the toggle. You can change the name of an existing allowance, or add a new one at the bottom of the window.
💡 Tip: Some customers use the meal allowances for other kinds of allowances. For example, you can add a travel allowance (mileage allowance). You can name these allowances however you want.
You can select each activated meal in the planning and time registration in a shift or time entry. If you use Eitje's clocking system, team members can also indicate if they had a meal when clocking out.
⚠️ Note: You cannot link a monetary value to an allowance. You can only indicate if a shift included a meal/allowance. In an exported file, you can see the amount of allowances, but no monetary value.
