12. You can either type individual bonus amounts for each employee or allocate some amount automatically. For automatic amount allocation, type it in the Allocate amount field and specify how the amount should be allocated:
    • Copy to all – the specified amount will be copied to each employee Amount field
    • Divide equally – the amount will be equally divided among the employees
    • Based on salary – the amount will be divided in proportion to the employees' base salary amounts (the employees with bigger salary will have the bigger bonus amount)
13. Click Allocate to allocate the amount. Each employee bonus amount can be edited further as necessary.
14. At the bottom of the page, you can compare the budget to the total amount of the allocated employee bonuses.
