Paid Training Budgets

How to allocate paid training budgets for your instructors.

If you have decided to pay your instructors for training and want to setup an allowance of hours that each instructor can be paid for training, this can be achieved by enabling the Paid training budget in the Admin -> Product settings -> Timekeeping → Paid training budget.

When enabled, you can define a paid training budget (in hours) for your instructors:

• Individually, via the Employment tab on a staff profile, or;

• In bulk, using Staff Management → Bulk Edit with the Paid Training Budget Hours column specified.

When wages for training-related paid activities are calculated, the instructor’s remaining training budget is considered:

• Full pay, partial pay, or no pay is applied depending on available budget.

• Paid training budget usage is updated only upon timesheet approval.

  • Pending timesheets are not counted toward current usage or remaining budget.

There are three types of training pay: full pay, partial pay, or no pay. In Timekeeping -> Timesheets if training pay is partial or no pay, this will be visible when you hover over the training pill or view the training clinic paid activity.

Your staff will be informed if they have had partial or no pay because they have hit your training budget in their timesheets. The first paid activity is full pay, 2nd paid activity is a partial pay, and 3rd paid activity is no pay applied.
