ANTE User Manual

Perfect Attendance and PQD Incentives

Two ready-made incentive schemes run on Disbursements: Perfect Attendance, paid by company-wide attendance bands, and PQD reward (Productivity / Quality / Delivery), paid per target met. Both look at each employee's attendance, decide who qualifies, and create the payment lines for you.

Setting Up a Scheme

  1. Create the run type

    Under Run types, create a type and choose Perfect Attendance incentive or PQD reward (Productivity / Quality / Delivery) as the computed source.

  2. Click Scheme settings

    In the run type dialog, Scheme settings opens the rules. New runs of the type start from these settings.

  3. Choose the tax treatment of the lines

    It decides how the paid amounts enter the employee's annualized income.

Perfect Attendance Settings

Perfect Attendance scheme settings: eligibility, leave handling and the company-rate bands
Window start day
The day of the month the attendance window starts. 26 means the 26th to the 25th; 1 means plain calendar months.
Tolerance (minutes)
Late or undertime minutes per day that are forgiven.
Employment statuses that qualify
Only these statuses are assessed.
Excluded position ranks / Excluded employee tags
People with these are left out.
Exclude dispatched employees / Exclude hires after the window start / Exclude leavers
Tick any that should not be considered.
Incentive leave types
Leave type names or codes, comma separated, that keep the reward at the lower incentive-leave amount.
Any other leave
Pick one: Breaks perfect attendance, Does not affect it or Incentive leave.
Company-rate bands
The company rate is the share of eligible employees with perfect attendance. Each band has an Up to rate (%) and an Amount per employee, applying up to and including its rate. Use Add band and Remove to adjust.
Incentive-leave amount
Paid to employees whose only leave was incentive leave; 0 pays nothing.
Minimum company rate (%)
Nothing is paid below this rate. Leave empty for no minimum.

PQD Reward Settings

PQD reward scheme settings: targets, amount per target, attendance threshold and side incentives
Targets
Each target has a Key and a Label (Add target to add more).
Amount per target
Paid for each target the employee met.
Maximum paid targets
Leave empty to pay every target.
Attendance threshold (%)
Personal attendance over the run period needed to be paid.
Leave in the attendance gate
Counts as missed time, Paid leave counts as attended or All leave counts as attended.
Side incentives
Management-set amounts per employee (Add side incentive). They are not subject to the attendance gate.

Running an Incentive

  1. Start a run from the type

    The run dialog pre-fills the latest completed window. Perfect Attendance uses its own window start day. PQD uses the latest completed calendar month. The dialog also shows the scheme settings the run will use; Adjust for this run changes this run's own copy (for example a different tolerance this month) and leaves the type's settings unchanged.

  2. For PQD, upload the monthly inputs

    Click Monthly inputs. Download the template, fill in each employee's target flags and side incentives for the month, and use Upload month. Uploading replaces that month; Clear month empties it. A bad row rejects the whole file. Only employees on this list are assessed.

  3. Click Compute

    The run lands with the verdicts and, for those who qualify, payment lines. The usual steps then apply: approve, export files, release.

Info
PQD is a calendar-month reward. If the run period is not exactly one whole calendar month, a warning appears: the flags are matched to the month of the period start, while attendance is measured over the run period you chose.

Reading the Results

Above the lines, the run shows a summary (for example the company rate and headcounts for Perfect Attendance) and an Employee verdicts table with one row per assessed employee, including those who are paid nothing, with the reason. Use it to explain a result to an employee.

Tip
If an employee is missing from the verdicts, check the eligibility settings (status, rank, tag, hire date) or, for PQD, whether they are on the uploaded monthly list.

  • Employee Tags — employees carrying an excluded tag are left out of the assessment.
  • Service Incentive Leaves — the leave types you name as incentive leave are matched against approved leave.

Gets its data from

  • Payroll Time Keeping — the daily attendance results of the window decide who qualifies.
  • Leave Filing — approved leave days are counted for or against perfect attendance by your leave rules.
  • Employee Records — status, position rank, tags and hire date are read from the employee record.

Feeds into

  • Disbursements — computed lines flow into the run to be approved, exported and released.
  • Annualization — the tax treatment you choose decides how paid amounts enter annualized income.
