What's the difference between Extra Pay and Special Allowance?

Need to know if you should create an Extra Pay or a Special Allowance(Exceptional Allowance)?

An Extra Pay is an additional amount added to an employee's salary. This could be a one-off or recurring.
If it is a one off, it will be added during payroll run, on the Employee Payroll Update step. This is used for bonuses, reimbursables and other extra pays.
If it will reoccur over a period of time, it will be added as a Recurring Update.
 
A Special Allowance will replace the figure stipulated for that allowance on the paygrade, for only the specified employee. This will not show up as a payroll change type.
