Allowances help employees cover expenses they have while performing their role. They usually are an extra sum of money given on top of the worker’s salary to pay for accommodation, transportation or travel costs amongst others.

Remember that if you use the allowances section and add a value, you’ll pay it out on top of the salary and Coople’s markup.

If you are offering free meals or other ‘payments in kind’, please explain this within the job description.
