How to Give a Staff Member an Advance or a Bonus

You can hand a staff member money manually, without waiting for the shift to end — a manual payout like this does not touch the point's till.

1. Open the staff member's profile.
2. In the balance block, click "Add Advance" or "Add Bonus".
3. Enter the amount, save.

What to Do If… #

…a staff member takes an advance themselves during a shift? In that case the money is actually taken from the point's till, and the system checks whether the balance is enough. Your manual payout works differently — it does not touch the point's till (the money is assumed to have already been taken via a collection or handed over separately, for example by transfer).

…you need to let a staff member take more than they have accumulated? Turn on "Advance Overdraft" in the staff member's settings — then their balance will be able to go negative.
