Manage Salary for Payroll Interface

Salary components itemize new or adjusted salary into one or more components that reflect different reasons for the allocation, such as merit, adjustment, and location. To configure the use of salary components, use the Salary Basis task in the Compensation work area.

The salary basis specifies the frequency of the amount sent to payroll and stored as salary, such as annual or hourly amount. Use the Elements task to define salary basis, which holds the payroll element for base pay.
