Define Compensation Components

In this step, you define your compensation components. Components represent the types of compensation that you offer to your employees. For example, base pay, bonus, stock options, incentives.

They are also used for compensation packaging and reporting.

The system supports the following compensation categories:
1 = Fixed
2 = Variable
3 = Long-term incentives

These categories are fixed and cannot be changed. Your components should be defined in such a way that they fit into these categories.

Example
Component Category
Base pay Fixed
Bonus Variable
Executive incentive Long-term incentives
