About Compensation Packs


Purpose

This article introduces the Compensation Packs functionality within the People Management module.
It explains how organizations can define, configure, and manage salary structures, benefits, and remuneration rules that align with internal policies and employee contracts.

Goal: Define salary, benefits, and rules for remuneration.


Overview

The Compensation Packs feature allows HR teams to structure the company’s compensation framework, ensuring fair, transparent, and consistent remuneration across all roles and levels.

Compensation Packs combine:

  • Benefit Policies – outlining allowances, perks, or additional incentives.
    • Package Configurations – linking salary and benefits to career levels and contract types.
  • Salary Policies – defining pay rules by category, role, or level.

This structure ensures every employee’s compensation aligns with company policies and career framework definitions.


Sub-Processes

Policy Definition

HR defines the rules governing compensation to ensure internal fairness and regulatory compliance.

Configuration Purpose Examples
Benefit Policies Define additional compensation elements such as allowances, bonuses, or insurance coverage. Meal allowance, performance bonus, transport subsidy.
Salary Policies Define salary calculation rules, pay scales, and increment logic. Monthly base pay by category (e.g., Junior, Senior).

💡 Ensure policy definitions align with legal frameworks and organizational compensation strategy.


Package Configuration

Once policies are defined, HR creates compensation packages that group salaries and benefits into assignable structures.

Configuration Purpose Examples
Benefit Packages Combine salary and benefits for specific roles, categories, or contracts. Senior IT Package – Base salary + Bonus + Healthcare benefits.

Example:

✅ Each package can be linked to the appropriate Career Category or Contract Type to automate remuneration during hiring or promotion.
