Budgeting
You can create reusable wage supplements, entering both the premium on the wage and how much of the working time you expect it to cover.
Supplements cover overtime, night work and similar premiums. They live in the same dialog as fringes, on the second tab, and they ask for two percentages rather than one — see [how fringes and supplements differ](/kb/article/how-fringes-and-supplements-differ) for why.
In the account details, click the settings icon, choose **Fringes & Supplements**, then click the **Supplements** tab.
Hover the **Supplements Groups** header and click **+**, then name the group.
Click **+ Supplement** and fill in the row.
**Supplement Name** — must be unique.
**Markup On Wage %** — how much extra is paid when the premium occurs, expressed as the addition to the normal wage.
If a normal hour is 100% and an overtime hour is 125%, enter **25**. Enter the difference, not the total.
**Worktime %** — how much of the total working time you expect the premium to apply to.
On a 50-hour standard week where you expect 5 hours of overtime, enter **10**.
The two are independent, and both matter: a large premium that rarely occurs and a small one that occurs constantly can cost the same.
**Collect In Budget Account** — where this supplement's money is collected.
*Worktime %* is a budget-wide assumption, not a per-person fact. Set it to what is typical, and adjust it per account later with the multiplier when someone will run above or below it — see [apply fringes and supplements](/kb/article/apply-fringes-and-supplements).
Setting it person-by-person here is the wrong place: you would need one supplement per person instead of one supplement and a multiplier.
The eye hides a supplement from the apply window without unapplying it; the trash deletes it on a plain confirm, without checking whether anything uses it, and the assignments go with it. Check the **In Use** column first — it is the one delete that [gives you no warning](/kb/article/why-some-things-cant-be-deleted).
