Compensation is per employee: what they are paid, how that resolves into components, and the history of every change. Find it on the employee’s record, under the Compensation tab.

​
Current structure

The grid shows every active salary component evaluated against this employee’s annual compensation — the same engine the payroll run uses.
This is a full-month structure, not a payslip. It shows what the components come to at full attendance, with no loss of pay, no overtime and no cycle overrides applied. The actual payslip for a month is the cycle’s output, not this.

​
Revision history

Every change to compensation is an immutable revision: a dated row recording the new amount, who proposed it, and the effective date. Revisions are never edited or deleted — correcting a mistake means filing another revision. The table shows them newest first, with the percentage change against the previous one.

​
Filing a revision

1

Open the Compensation tab

On the employee’s record.
2

Propose the change

Enter the new annual compensation, the effective date, and a note explaining why.
3

Save

A revision row is written and the employee’s compensation is updated, in the same transaction. There is no state where the history and the current value disagree.
You cannot file a revision for yourself. The scope check on this action does not permit self-service, regardless of the permissions you hold.
The action is written to the audit log under the Compensation category.

​
Tax regime

Each employee carries a tax regime — New or Old — which decides which income-tax slab configuration SlabTDS uses.
Only the New regime is configured. An employee marked Old produces a TDS deduction of zero. That is a safe no-op rather than a crash, but it is also not a correct number. Verify each employee’s regime before your first live cycle.

​
What is not modelled

The compensation surface shows several fields as explicit placeholders rather than fabricating values. These are honestly blank, not broken:
  • Grade and variance against band — no compensation-band model exists.
  • The tax declaration card — regime selection detail, Section 80C, HRA proof, leave travel allowance, and the proof-of-investment window are not modelled.
  • The breakup, variable-pay, approval-routing and communications panels in the revision drawer are illustrative of the intended design. The revision itself — amount, date, note — is real and is what gets saved.

​
How compensation reaches a payslip

Changing compensation changes future calculations. It does not alter a cycle that has already calculated unless that cycle is recalculated, and it never alters a disbursed one.
