Commuting Allowance Input Methods

Global Payroll for Japan enables you to record commuting allowances by total amount or by commuting route. The system enables you to enter an employee's commuting allowance either as one total commuting amount based on pay cycle (the total amount method), or as separate commuting amounts based on route (the commuting route method).

The input method affects payment cycle and tax calculations. Employees opting for the amount method select one pay cycle in which all allowances are paid.

Employees opting for the commuting route method select one pay cycle for each route.
