# Payment Request Setup

Before you start working with the additional payment requests, make sure that the following settings are in place:

- [Additional Payment Categories](/lanteria-hr-modifications/docs/payment-request-setup#additional-payment-categories)
- [Approval Workflow for additional payment requests](/lanteria-hr-modifications/docs/payment-request-setup#approval-workflow-for-additional-payment-requests)

## Additional Payment Categories

Categories for additional payments define:

- Coefficient for calculating the payment (multiplied by the number of hours to be paid out)
- Whether the additional payment request is submitted in hours or days

The payment categories can be edited under **Settings** > **Site Lists and Libraries** > **Additional Payment Categories**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img833(1).png)

## Approval Workflow for Additional Payment Requests

Approval workflow for approving additional payment requests must be set up. It is configured under **Settings** > **Settings and Configuration** > **Core HR**. Click **Processes and Approval Workflows** and then **Approval Workflows**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/img834.png)

Additional Payment workflow is a status approval workflow with 2 steps:

- Line manager approval (common for all the employees)
- Team approval. This is a code based step that defines behavior of the workflow depending on the employee's team. For more details, check the [Approve Additional Payment](/lanteria-hr-modifications/docs/approve-additional-payment-request) article.
