Stipends

Stipends

[Version 5.7 and later versions] You can choose to pay a stipend to some or all of your volunteers for their volunteer service. Stipends are calculated automatically when entering hours although you can change the amount. In order for a stipend to be calculated, the volunteer must be checked as being a stipended volunteer and the job must be checked as being a stipend job with a default stipend amount for each job. This enables you to restrict stipends to only some volunteers at some jobs. You can also set an overall default stipend in Preferences.

Preferences for Stipends

File menu | Preferences | General tab

Stipends | check: Do you pay any stipends to volunteers?

Enter the $ amount in Stipend per hour.

If you do not use stipends, uncheck the box.

Check if this is a stipened job and verify the stipend amount. This amount fills from the setting in Preferences, but can be edited per client/job.
