Changing the reset#
Changing how often allowances reset starts a new period as soon as you save, so everyone gets a fresh allowance right away. Pulsido warns you before you save.
Budget check#
Under the allowance, Pulsido shows the most your company could give in a month if everyone gave their full allowance, and roughly what that's worth at 10 coins = $1. Most teams give 30–60% of it.
Different allowances for different people#
Set a custom allowance for a person or a team, or stop someone giving or receiving coins. See Custom allowances and coin exclusions.
