Supplemental Expenses
Supplemental expenses typically refer to additional employee pays not covered by a primary pay source. Examples of supplemental expenses might include “Coach Extra Duty Pay”; “After-School Care Stipend”; “Executive Extra Pay”; or “Substitute Teacher 8 Hours”. While Personnel Expenses calculate salary and benefits assigned to an employee, and non-personnel expenses don’t calculate any benefits or assign to an individual employee, Supplemental Expenses are for a flat amount that can be optionally associated with an Employee and may have a Benefits Package attached, where applicable.
How to Access Future Supplemental Expenses:
For Administrators, planned supplemental expenses can be reviewed across the district using the All Budgets tab. Follow the steps below to access Supplemental Expenses in your account.
