Rates
The car allowance calculation is usually based on the rates provided by the government.
There are different rates based on the type of car allowance used: regular car allowance, car allowance commuter (from/ to work), etc.
All the rates are usually defined in the Organization Properties. The rates can be set on the following levels:
Top-level (has a blue building icon) - to set rates that are applicable for all organization units;

Vessel level - to set rates that are applicable for crew with activities linked to a specific vessel;
