# Personal additions

Personal additions are used to calculate variable compensation automatically for an individual employee. The compensation can be calculated based on hours worked, as a fixed amount per day, or as a fixed amount per registration.

## What are personal additions?

Personal additions are compensation types linked to a specific employee in Capitech Flow.

They can be used when an employee should receive automatic compensation based on specific rules or working conditions.

Examples of Personal additions include:

-   travel time
-   walking time
-   toll charges
-   supervisor compensation

## Two types of Personal additions

There are two ways to set up Personal additions, depending on how the compensation should be calculated.

| Type | Description | Used when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Hour distribution** | Amount is calculated based on worked time. | The compensation should reflect how much the employee has worked. |
| **Time category** | Fixed amøunt per day or per registration. | The compensation should be a fixed amount, regardless of working hours. |

## Limit by period, department, and project

A Personal addition can be limited so that it only applies in specific situations.

For example, you can specify that the compensation should only apply:

-   during a specific period
-   when the employee works in a specific department
-   when the employee works on a specific project

This ensures that the compensation is only calculated when the conditions are met.

## When can personal additions be useful?

Personal additions can be useful when employees should receive variable compensation based on working hours, workplace, or type of work.

Examples:

-   an employee should receive compensation for toll charges when working on a specific project
-   an employee should receive walking-time compensation when working in a specific department
-   a supervisor should receive supervisor compensation for a limited period
-   an employee should receive compensation based on the number of hours worked
