Work Expense Entries

This page outlines use of the Work Expense Entries register.

Overview

The Work Expense register helps manage staff costs for an event.

The register is useful for viewing expenses, for example by Staff Member, and editing them. However you cannot add Work Expenses directly through the Register. These are managed through the Work Summary.

You can only add new Work Time Entries via the Work Summary.

  • To access Work Time Entries as a Payroll Manager, the position must be enabled for the event and you must go on duty with this role. Some other positions may have this role enabled.

  • Go on duty to the event with an appropriate role. If you can't access it you may need to ask your administrator to check your permissions.
