# Add Allowances to Shifts

Add Allowances allows you to apply additional pay or bill amounts to a shift, such as bonuses or premiums.

The **Add Allowances** section in Update Rates and Hours allows you to apply additional pay or bill amounts to a shift. These are typically used for premiums such as bonuses, travel pay, or special conditions.
