I work in HR in my company in the Maldives. My seniors have asked me to break current salaries into wages and allowances. I checked existing allowance names, and they are as below. Can anyone suggest any alternative names for these allowances or additional allowances I can suggest to them?
- Food allowance (this is OK)
- Accommodation Allowance (this is also OK)
- Tea Allowance - need a better suggestion
- Extra Allowance - need a better suggestion
Our company provides telephone and SIM cards for all staff, so we do not have a communication allowance. Traveling allowance is not required, as all travel-related expenses are provided on request or reimbursed to staff.
Thanks,

Quite often, a lot would also depend on the sector/domain your company is in. For example, the allowances used/practiced in the IT sector would be different from those used in, let's say, the realty sector. Please give some background info on your company. Jasmine Anil's suggestion for the Tea Allowance seems to be good.
Regarding the Extra Allowance
Please clarify the basic purpose of this allowance. That would give the members a better idea of what to suggest.
Regarding the Communication Allowance
You could maybe just call it plainly as Telephone Allowance as well—it depends on the general company preferences.
