This article explains how the Salary tab of the employee profile is structured. Find out more about your options for managing salaries in Personio in our article on salary components.

What is the Salary tab?

Under Employee Profile > Salary, you can view and manage salaries for each individual employee. The Salary tab consists of an overview displaying all salary components an employee receives, as well as an editing screen where salary components can be managed. Based on access rights, employees can view and manage salary components.

The salary table 

In the salary table, all salary components and payments that the employee receives are listed by year and month. You can navigate between years by clicking on the arrow buttons to the left and right of the year displayed. The following salary components can be displayed:

• Base salary: This is always a fixed or hourly salary. Fixed salaries are displayed in in their monthly installments regardless of being added as a monthly or yearly salary. Hourly salaries have to be confirmed monthly and can be adjusted in the salary table. 
• Recurring compensations and bonuses: These are displayed in a separate column named per compensation. If multiple recurring compensations or a bonus are set, the table displays them each in one corresponding column.
• One-time compensations totals (per year): These are displayed collectively in the corresponding column, One-time compensations.

Salary components overview

The salary components overview on the left-hand side of the salary table displays salary components at a glance. The following salary components can be displayed:

• Base salary: This widget displays the monthly amount for a fixed salary and the hourly rate for an hourly salary, as well as the weekly working hours.
• Recurring compensations and bonuses: This widget displays current and upcoming bonuses and recurring compensations on a repeat schedule.
• One-time compensation totals (per year): This widget displays all total payments for all one-time compensations added for the chosen year.

Manage salaries in the Salary tab and on the edit screen

You can create and manage all salary components from the edit screen. To access the edit screen, click on Manage under salary components on the left-hand side. The following actions can be taken there:

• Base Salary: Add and delete base salaries (fixed or hourly). In the widget, all past and future base salaries set for the employee are displayed. Read our article on managing base salaries for more information. 
• Recurring compensations and bonuses: Add and delete recurring compensations and bonuses. Read our article on how to create and manage recurring compensations and the article on how to create bonus payments for more information.
• One-time compensations: Add and delete one-time compensations. Read our article on managing one-time compensations for more information.

Access rights for the Salary tab

The access rights for the Salary tab depend on if the employee needs to simply view the compensation types or should also be able to create and manage them. For Additional compensations such as one-time and recurring compensations, the individual compensation types can be created and edited globally under Settings > Payroll > Additional Compensation. 

Note
For the access rights section Salary information, there are no propose rights. Employees can either view or edit them. The compensation widgets are only displayed to employees who are assigned to a compensation type and have at least viewing rights for their salary tab.
