3. Enter the sheet title.
4. In the **Budget** field, specify the budget that will be allocated for employee bonuses.
5. The **Currency** field defines the currency the budget is specified in.
6. Select the bonus type for the bonuses that will be granted through the current bonus sheet.
7. In the **Payment Date** field, enter the date when the bonuses are to be paid.
8. Click **Save**.
9. When the sheet is created and the budget is defined, you can allocate the bonuses. In the **Bonus Sheet** page, click the title of the created bonus sheet and on the ribbon, click **Manage Bonuses**.![image055](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image055.png)

11. Select the employees to whom the bonuses are to be paid. You can add employees from a specific organizational unit, location, country or division. Select this in the **Add employees from** field. Specify the organizational unit, location, country or division in the next field and click **Add**.
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.
15. To change the payment date for individual employees or mark the bonuses as paid, click the title of the employee bonus record and make the changes in the dialog that opens.
16. To mark all the bonuses as paid, in the bonus sheet, click the **Mark all as paid** button.
