Compensation Types
Configure compensation types under Settings > Payroll > Compensation Types. Compensation types are used for recurring compensation and one-time payments in employee profiles. They must be created here before they can be assigned to employees. You can create new types, rename existing ones, and delete types that are no longer needed.
Compensation types are not used for base salary (fixed salary / hourly wage) – base salary is managed separately in the employee profile.
To manage compensation types, you need editing permissions for the Payroll area.
Categories
Compensation types are organized into the following categories:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Recurring | Regular additional payments such as travel allowances, capital-forming benefits, or other supplements |
| One-time | Non-recurring payments such as annual bonuses, signing bonuses, or severance payments |
