Salary Amount Is Determined by Simple Components

With this type of salary basis, HCM specialists or managers itemize salary changes using simple components. For example, this $100 salary is made up of four itemizations.

Each component has its own characteristic and change history, and affects salary in a different way. For example, a component can be a fixed or user-enterable amount. Or it can be a fixed or user-enterable percentage of another component. And you can add the component to the overall salary, subtract it from the overall salary, or make it independent of the overall salary.

Tip: You should use the simple components on responsive pages with salary information. Don't use classic pages to create, change, or delete salary that uses simple components. You can use classic pages to view simple component information.
