Mobile Site Distance Allowance

In Traffio, allowances are calculated separately from the employee's hourly salary rates and are considered an additional value.

On the EBA detail page, scroll down to the 'Rates & Allowances Display Columns' table.

When you enable the "Mobile Site Distance Allowance" toggle, an additional settings block will appear at the bottom.

When activated, the mobile worksite allowance is paid per kilometre travelled between worksites on a job.

The distance travelled is calculated from the booking location to the first mobile worksite, then to the second, and so on, until the final mobile worksite, in the order they were worked.
​

The mobile site distance allowance contains 3 options:

Take Home and Non Take Home STS

Individuals who have a take-home vehicle (including vehicles not used on the job) and those without a take-home vehicle who are marked as "straight-to-site" are eligible for the travel allowance if they meet either of the following conditions:

  • Non Take-Home: A person is considered "non take-home" if they do not have a vehicle assigned to their profile. The vehicle does not need to be assigned to the booking for this to apply.

OR

  • Non Take-Home: A person is considered "non take-home" if they do not have a vehicle assigned to their profile. The vehicle does not need to be assigned to the booking for this to apply.

  • STS: A person is considered "straight-to-site" if the "STS" button is selected in the booking.


Vehicle Type Allowance

On the EBA detail page, scroll down to the 'Rates & Allowances Display Columns' table.

When you enable the "Vehicle Type Allowance" toggle, an additional settings block will appear at the bottom.

This allowance is given to drivers of any vehicle type that appears in the list. The options are based on the vehicle resources within your Traffio.


Allowance is Per Hour

When enabled, this allowance is calculated based on the hours worked during the shift, provided the above conditions are met.

When disabled, if the above conditions are met, it will provide a flat 1.00 instead of an accumulated total.
