Salary Components, Salary Structures, Earnings & Deductions (HCM)
This page documents four shipped Payroll setup screens (hcm-payroll) — the master data everything else in Payroll is built from. Not for plugin developers.
Who this is for: payroll administrators setting these up (and revisiting them when compensation rules change).
Salary Components
The building blocks of pay — define each individual component (e.g. Basic Pay, HRA, Provident Fund) with its own calculation rule and versioning. Changing a component goes through a single-stage approval before it takes effect.
Earnings & Deductions
Two focused views over the exact same Salary Components data — Earnings shows only the components that add to pay, Deductions shows only the ones that subtract from it. Same create/edit/versioning/approval behavior as Salary Components; just filtered by type.
Salary Structures
Combine components into a named structure (a template you assign to employees), so you don't have to pick components one by one for every person.
