Scenario 1
QUOTED FROM MAIN ROADS WESTERN AUSTRALIA
"The Employee travels a distance up to 50km in their own car from their residence directly to the site."
"The travel allowance as per clause 26.1 of the Award provides for an allowance to be paid each day when the Employee starts and finishes work on site."
To set it up, select 'Payroll' from the left menu panel, then select 'EBA' from the top banner menu, and create a new EBA or edit an existing one.
Scroll down to the 'Payable Hours & Allowances Display Columns' table
Toggle on
'Travel Allowance'
Scroll down to the settings for 'Travel Allowance'
From the dropdown select 'Non take home vehicle and STS and travel <= 50KM'
Notice that when you select this option, the p/hour setting is disabled to force a unit per day.
The 'Non take home vehicle and STS and travel <= 50KM' condition translates to:
IF
The person does not have a vehicle assigned to their profile
AND
The person allocated to a booking is marked straight-to-site (STS)
AND
Travel distance in the docket is less than or equal to 50km.
THEN
Travel allowance is paid
Assumptions:
We assume “in their own car from their residence directly to the site” refers to the employee using their own personal car. Therefore, we check if a vehicle is assigned to the person profile, as that is an indication of a company-owned vehicle and would disqualify them.
We assume “travels a distance up to 50km” is by road

Assumptions:
We assume “in their own car from their residence directly to the site” refers to the employee using their own personal car. Therefore, we check if a vehicle is assigned to the person profile, as that is an indication of a company-owned vehicle and would disqualify them.

IF
The person allocated to a booking is not marked straight-to-site (STS)
AND
The person is allocated to a vehicle in the booking (driver or passenger)
THEN
The shift duration will be split into pre-site, site, and post-site.
Additional pre/post site payable hours will be available to map a different rate.
The same threshold limit will apply across pre/post site and site hours.
The pre-site start time and the post-site end time will use the new slider.
Assumptions:
We consider "The Employee travels in their own car from their residence to the Employer’s yard (base location or HQ) before travelling to site in transport provided by the Employer." as the person is allocated to a car as either the driver or passenger in the booking.
We refer “Employer’s yard (base location or HQ)” as the depot location in Traffio.
