Night Shift Allowances, Transport Allowance & Attendance Allowance

Hi Everyone !!
I am Siddharth working as a HR in a international BPO. This organisation just started like 2 months back. Now we are planning to give an extra allowances apart from the salary to our employees.
1. Night shift allowance - As its an international call centre, so people will be wrkng in an evening shift as well as in night shift. so we are planning to give a night shift allowances to people wrkng in night shifts.
2. Transport allowance - Employees who dnt tk company's transport facility will get sm extra money as a transport allowance.
3. Attendance allowance - This is basically to motivate employees to cum to wrk everyday & to wrk extra.
Now am trying to figure out how exactly these all allowances wrk.. please help me out guys..

I wud suggest
Night shift allowance on per hour basis.. dont compel them to stay back for long hrs... you can give them on per hour basis may be 150/- per hr.
Transportation allowance per day basis i.e. Rs 100/- per day
Attendance allowance wud be done quartely basis.. 1000/- bonus for being present for 120 days ...

1 Night shift allowance - People needed to be hired for Night shift separately. and their salary must be adjusted so that it could be motivating. Revenue earned in Day compared to night is high and employees needs to be compensated.
2. Transport allowance - If candidates travels for 1 or 2 days then per KM needs to be paid hover for the full month if employee comes by own then monthly rates should be fixed i.e. around Rs. 1000 /month. however if you have cab facility then don't give money to those where you have cab running.
3. Attendance allowance - 1000 as bonus for employees coming on daily basis (no leaves apart of weekly leaves given by the company)

Dear Siddhant,

I could help you in how things are generally done,

1. For night shift allowance for people that come in during the night a stipend can be included in their salary depending on what time they work Eg: If you fix a night shift allowance for a person working untill 11 or 12 in the night at Rs 3000 then a person who is working the whole night that is going home sometime in the morning his can be somewhere around Rs 4000 or Rs 4500, Now this is just an example you can set figures depending on the capability of the company

Else you can fix an amount for different timings Eg: people logging off from 10 pm to 12.00 am can be 75 per day and 12.00 am to 3 could be 100 per day and so on. In this system the employee can be paid just for the days that he is present inthe organisation (number of working days) hence making this benifit apart from his CTC.

2. For Transport allowance the way things generally work is an amount ex Rs 800 per month is assigned, If the employee is availing transport provided by the company the amount becomes taxable, but if he is not taking transport provided by the company this maount is non taxable.

3. Finally attendance allowance : This can be set according to percentages like 85% to 100% a stipulated amount and 70% to 80 % another amount and anything below that would be nill.

Just to let you know this is not my own this is how things are done generally, Just thought that it would help to let you know.

Hope this helps
And All the best
