Compensation refers to the fixed components of an employee’s salary that remain consistent every month unless manually updated. Since a Bonus is a one-time or occasional payment applicable to specific months, it is not included under the standard Compensation structure.
To include a Bonus:
Go to Payroll > Payroll Summary
Ensure the payroll is in Draft status
Click the Edit icon for the employee
Add the Bonus allowance under the Allowances section
This allows you to grant bonuses as and when required without affecting the recurring salary structure.
