Employee Compensation, Bonuses, Incentives, Overtime & Adjustments (HCM) ​

This page documents five shipped, per-employee Payroll transaction screens (hcm-payroll) — the things that affect what one specific person gets paid, on top of their base structure. Not for plugin developers.

Employee Compensation ​

Assign a Salary Structure to an employee and set their actual compensation amounts against it.

Bonuses ​

One-off bonus payments for an employee.

Incentives ​

Incentive payouts against a reusable incentive plan — fixed amount, percentage, formula-based, or tiered, depending on how the plan is set up.

Overtime (Payroll) ​

Overtime pay against a reusable overtime policy — either a flat rate or a tiered-hours multiplier. (This is the payroll side of overtime; see Late & Early Records, Overtime & Regularization for where the overtime hours themselves are tracked and approved.)

Payroll Adjustments ​

The simplest of these five: a generic, ad-hoc correction for one employee — just a signed amount (positive adds to pay, negative deducts), no plan or policy behind it, for one-off corrections that don't fit any of the above.
