Bonus and Penalty

A bonus for working Tet, a reward for a customer's praise, a deduction for repeated lateness — anything added or taken off beyond base pay is recorded here against a specific month.

Area	What goes in
1. Staff	Who it applies to.
2. Type	Reward (added to pay) or Penalty (deducted).
3. Amount (VND) (required)	Always a positive number — direction comes from Type.
4. Month (YYYYMM)	The pay period it lands on, e.g. 202609.
5. Reason	Be specific; this is what the employee reads when they ask.
6. Visible	Switch off to keep it out of payroll for now.
7. Save	Records it.

The Note box is for extra internal detail.

Write the reason for the employee, not for yourself

"Penalty 200k" means nothing to you next month either. "Late five times in September" is never queried.
