How to setup a flat amount hourly rate stipend where hours can be entered in ESS

Description of Issue

I need to setup a flat amount hourly rate stipend pay that an employee can enter hours for in ESS. (Example, they work town council meetings and get a flat $125.00 each time they work. I want them to be able to enter 1 hour for each time they need the $125.00)
